Like a tap that a child has tried its hardest to turn off but hasn’t quite managed.”

I rebuke the wind and revile the rain,
I do not know the Buddha and patriarchs;
My single activity turns in the twinkling of an eye,
Swifter even than a lightning flash.

“A face at the window,
A tap on the pane;
Who is it that wants me
To-night in the rain?”
The Messenger at Night.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)

“Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.”
