Desert rains are usually so definitely demarked that the story of the man who washed his hands in the edge of an Arizona thunder s...hower without wetting his cuffs seems almost credible.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We had for some time seen a thunder-shower coming up from the west over the woods of the island.... As we lay huddled together und...er the tent,... we listened to some of the grandest thunder which I ever heard,--rapid peals, round and plump, bang, bang, bang, in succession, like artillery from some fortress in the sky; and the lightning was proportionally brilliant. The Indian said, "It must be good powder." All for the benefit of the moose and us, echoing far over the concealed lakes. I thought it must be a place which the thunder loved, where the lightning practiced to keep its hand in, and it would do no harm to shatter a few pines.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! Spout, rain! Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire are my daughters.... I tax you not, you elements, with unkindness; I never gave you kingdom, called you children.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
And thou, all-shaking thunder, Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!... Crack nature's moulds, all germens spill at once That makes ingrateful man!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The Lord killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.... The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. Heraiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he hath set the world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.... Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
