“The rain has stopped, the clouds have drifted away, and the weather is clear again.”
Ryōkan (1758–1831) Japanese Buddhist monk

Context: The rain has stopped, the clouds have drifted away, and the weather is clear again.
If your heart is pure, then all things in your world are pure.
Abandon this fleeting world, abandon yourself,
Then the moon and flowers will guide you along the Way.
“She faded, like a cloud which had outwept its rain.”

She faded, like a cloud which had outwept its rain.

"When The Rain Came Down" <!-- at some points this sounds more like "I am standing in green" -->
Ecto (1987)
Context: When the rain came down, I was standing in the green
My soul was touched by every tree that my eyes could see
I am in peace, in love, in harmony
when the rain comes
down When the rain came down — melded with my tears
When the rain came down — flow away the fears
When the rain came down — bigger than the sea
When the rain came down — then came me.
“I remember too, a distant bell…
and stars that fell…
like the rain
out of the blue.”

Song "I Remember You" (1941)
“Faint winds, and far away a fading laughter…
And the rain and over the fields a voice calling…”
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) American novelist and screenwriter
