My thought today:
“Rain: Nature’s car wash”.
Other people more insightful have written thus about rain:
“Oh God, if there be cricket in heaven, let there also be rain.”
1992, Sir Alexander Douglas-Home, Prime Minister Britain. Apparently surrounded by cricket fanatics, is also quoted as saying about a relative by marriage:
“My wife had an uncle who could never walk down the nave of his abbey without wondering whether it would take spin.”
“Mine, O thou Lord of life, send my roots rain”
1889, Gerard Manley Hopkins, in poem “Thou art indeed just, Lord”
“The sky is darkening like a stain;
Something is going to fall like rain,
And it won’t be flowers.” W H Auden, 1935 (as WW2 approached)
