A cloud  
is a large collection 
of very tiny droplets 
of water or ice crystals. 
The droplets 
are so small and light 
that they can 
float 
in the air.

John Lubbock
Rest is not idleness, 
and to lie sometimes on the grass 
under trees on a summer's day, 
listening to the murmur of the water, 
or watching the clouds float across the sky, 
is by no means a waste of time.”
John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

W.B. Yeats
I know that I shall meet my fate 
somewhere among the clouds above; 
those that I fight I do not hate, 
those that I guard I do not love.”

Arthur Conan Doyle
How sweet the morning air is! 
See how that one little cloud 
floats like a pink feather
from some gigantic flamingo. 
Now the red rim of the sun 
pushes itself over the London cloud-bank. 
It shines on a good many folk, but on none, 
I dare bet, 
who are on a stranger errand than you and I. 
How small we feel 
with our petty ambitions and strivings 
in the presence of the great

Charles M. Schulz
Aren't the clouds beautiful? 
They look like big balls of cotton... 
I could just lie here all day, and watch them drift by... 
If you use your imagination, 
you can see lots of things in the cloud formations... 
What do you think you see, Linus?"
"Well, those clouds up there look like the map 
of the British Honduras on the Caribbean... 
That cloud up there looks a little like the profile 
of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor... 
And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression 
of the stoning of Stephen... 
I can see the apostle Paul standing there to one side..."
"Uh huh... 
That's very good... 
What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?"
"Well, I was going to say 
I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind!
Charles M. Schulz, The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 5: 1959-1960

these clouds of darkness,
the general mind must be strengthened 
by education."

like heavy clouds in the sky,
are best relieved
by the letting of a little water."

Mom used to lie down in the grass with
my sister, Gloria; 
my cousin, Tandra, 
and me 
when we were little girls.

Mom encouraged us to look up at the clouds,
and use our imagination
to see things in the cloud formations.

What a JOY to discover bunnies,
turtles, puppies, and castles in the clouds.

 Now I look at the clouds in the sky at sunset,
and imagine I see Mom and Dad
on Heaven's balcony...dancing on the clouds.
