wild west wind, thou- breath of Autumn's being, 
Thou from whose unseen presence the leaves, dead, 
Are driven like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, — 
Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere; 
Destroyer and preserver; hear, O hear! 
The trumpet of a prophecy! O wind. 
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? 
— P. B. Shelley.
