RAIN QUOTES
quotations about rain
Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.
ROGER MILLER
television special on ABC, "Roger Miller with His Friends and His Music", January 1, 1973
The rain fluctuates between drizzle and torrential. It messes with your mind. It makes you think things will always be like this, never getting better, always letting you down right when you though the worst was over.
SUSANE COLASANTI
Waiting for You
I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
And I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark, up above,
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.
ARTHUR FREED
"Singin' in the Rain"
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
HOWARD GREENFIELD & CAROLE KING
"Crying in the Rain"
Rain, feel it on my finger tips
Hear it on my window pane
Your love's coming down like
Rain, wash away my sorrow
MADONNA
"Rain", Erotica
It was a rainy night. It was the myth of a rainy night.
JACK KEROUAC
On the Road
I have always considered the rain to be healing--a blanket--the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water.
DOUGLAS COUPLAND
Life After God
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
ANONYMOUS
The house is still and silent, and those small noises that make me start are only the imagination of the spirit or they are the rain. There is only the rain for it to feed on and to crawl in. The rain swallows it up as the sea does its own foam. I will lie still and stretch out my body and close my eyes. My breath is all that has been spared by the rain, and that comes softly and at long intervals, as if it were trying to hide itself from the rain. I feel that I am so little I have crept away into a corner and been forgotten by the rain. All else has perished except me and the rain. There is no room for anything in the world but the rain. It alone is great and strong.
EDWARD THOMAS
Selected Poems of Edward Thomas
Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too
TOM WAITS
"Rain Dogs"
Rain didn't make things messy. People did that all on their own.
BARBARA DELINSKY
The Secret Between Us
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
"The Rainy Day"
Weave, weave, weave, you streaks of rain! I am dissolved and woven again... Thousands of faces rise and vanish before me. Thousands of voices weave in the rain.
CONRAD AIKEN
The House of Dust
Rain may fall as gently as mercy.
RICHARD GRANT WHITE
Words and Their Uses, Past and Present
Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.
VLADIMIR NABOKOV
attributed, Véra: Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov
For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining, is to let it rain.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
"The Poet's Tale", Tales of a Wayside Inn
Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
SUSAN ERTZ
Anger in the Sky
It is not raining rain to me,
It's raining daffodils;
In every dimpled drop I see
Wild flowers on distant hills.
ROBERT LOVEMAN
"April Rain", Harper's Magazine, May 1901
She waits for me; my lady Earth,
Smiles and waits and sighs;
I'll say her nay, and hide away,
Then take her by surprise.
MARY MAPES DODGE
How the Rain Comes
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
