Rain...



The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency.

Susan Allen Toth


Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

John Ruskin


Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Langston Hughes


The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

Beatles - Rain


Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main...


Thomas Lovell Beddoes




Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply....


Edna St Vincent Millay
