Stream

Streaming like feathers of a shuttlecock.
—Ambrose Bierce

Branches stream like the dishevelled hair
Of women in the sadness of despair.
—William Cullen Bryant

Streamed o’er his memory like a forest’s flame.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes

Streaming like a flag of battle.
—George Meredith

Streamed like curtain-rents
Fluttered by a wind.
—George Meredith

Her locks streamed like the torch
Borne by a racer at full speed,
Or like the mane of horses in their flight
Or like an angel when she stems the light
Straight towards the sun,
Or like a caged thing freed,
Or like a flying flag when armies run.
—Christina Georgina Rossetti

Stream like a comet’s flashing hair.
—Percy Bysshe Shelley

Stream, like a sunset.
—Frederick Tennyson
