Talk:Wind

"one of the three primary elemental forces of the world"? You mean, maybe, for ancient Greeks? That's kind of outdated there, dontcha think? --Larry Sanger 14:10, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Ha, yeah. --Robert W King 14:19, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Don't forget that They Call the Wind Mariah! Hayford Peirce 15:21, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

I don't get it? --Robert W King 15:32, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

That's the name of a famous song from a Broadway show called Paint Your Wagon -- the Kingston Trio later sang it in their From the Hungry i album and made it famous a second time. Lotsa folkies sang it during the 60s -- depending on who's doing it, it's a wonderful song. In fact, I just this moment ordered a 2 CD called Bud and Travis, Santa Monica Concert recorded in the early '60s in which they sing it.

Way out here, they have a name for wind and rain and fire,

The rain is Tess, the fire's Jo, and they call the wind Mariah....

For the "Wind in Myth and Art" section or whatever: (1) William Butler Yeats in places speaks of the "sidhe", which, in Gaelic, means, among other things, wind; and he, somewhere, speaks of the muse as a wind blowing through him. (Place to start maybe: his volume, The Wind Among the Reeds; (2) Of course, some ancient myths have Goddesses impregnated by the wind (uh, would have to check who exactly).Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 15:44, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
