Thunder: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

Far along, From peak to peak the rattling crags among, Leaps the live thunder.— BYRON — Childe Harold. Canto III. St. 92.
Thy thunder, conscious of the new command, Rumbles reluctant o'er our fallen house.— KEATS — Hyperion. L. 60.
As a storm-cloud lurid with lightning And a cry of lamentation, Repeated and again repeated, Deep and loud As the reverberation Of cloud answering unto cloud, Swells and rolls away in the distance, As if the sheeted Lightning retreated, Baffled and thwarted by the wind's resistance.— LONGFELLOW — Christus. The Golden Legend. Epilogue. L. 62.
