• ¿Qué alegría me da el regreso de junio?
  Mis pies están resecos, mis ojos arden,
  No huelo ráfagas floridas;
  Pero el débil céfiro flaquea,
  con Macadam seco en sus alas,
  y me convierte "polvo en polvo".

• Aurora hail, and all the thousand dies,
  Which deck thy progress through the vaulted skies:
  The morn awakes, and wide extends her rays,
  On ev'ry leaf the gentle zephyr plays;
  Harmonious lays the feather'd race resume,
  Dart the bright eye, and shake the painted plume.

• Fling out, fling out, with cheer and shout, To all the winds of Our Country's Banner! Be every bar, and every star, Displayed in full and glorious manner! Blow, zephyrs, blow, keep the dear ensign flying! Blow, zephyrs, sweetly mournful, sighing, sighing, sighing!

• Those horses must have been Spanish jennets, born of mares mated with a zephyr; for they went as swiftly as the wind, and the moon, which had risen at our departure to give us light, rolled through the sky like a wheel detached from its carriage.

• Cuando un poeta menciona la primavera, sabemos que los céfiros están a punto de susurrar, que las arboledas van a recobrar su verdor, que los pardillos van a gorjear sus notas de amor, y que los rebaños y manadas van a corretear por los valles pintados de flores: sin embargo, ¿quién hay tan insensible a las bellezas de la naturaleza, tan poco encantado con la renovación del mundo, que no sienta su corazón conmovido ante la mención de la primavera?

• George: 'Ringo would always say grammmatically incorrect phrases and we'd all laugh. I remember when we were driving back to Liverpool from Luton up the M1 motorway in Ringo's Zephyr, and the car's bonnet hadn't been latched properly. The wind got under it and blew it up in front of the windscreen. We were all shouting, 'Aaaargh!' and Ringo calmly said, 'Don't worry, I'll soon have you back in your safely-beds.

• The virtuous to those mansions go
  Where pleasures unembitter'd flow,
  Where, leading up a jocund band,
  Vigor and Youth dance hand in hand,
  Whilst Zephyr, with harmonious gales,
  Pipes softest music through the vales,
  And Spring and Flora, gaily crown'd,
  With velvet carpet spread the ground;
  With livelier blush where roses bloom,
  And every shrub expires perfume.

• [Buckminster Fuller] started talking about it far enough afterwards, an audience that was far enough from when they - when the air flow and the Zephyr and these cars in the time period that were made by mainstream automakers. It was far enough in the future, far enough after that point that nobody really bothered to fact-check.

• Meanwhile, as we read, two little girls slept as if couched on zephyrs on the south side of the parlor floor, in a room that had bunny wallpaper...and a bookcase crammed with the collected Beatrix Potter. Snow White was in a youth bed and Rose Red was in a crib, and next to them was the little blue and white guest room that one of them would have one day. Because I recognize emotions only in retrospect, I didn't know that I was happy. As always, there was something nagging at my mind's corners. But I did know that I had all that it is proper in this world to wish for.

• Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows, And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows; But when loud surges lash the sounding shore, The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar. When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw, The line too labours, and the words move slow: Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain, Flies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main.

  Alexander Pope

• Y los meteorólogos no tienen nada que contar a la gente de Philo, que sabe perfectamente que la verdadera historia es que al oeste, entre nosotros y las Rocosas, no hay básicamente nada alto, y que extraños céfiros y agitaciones se unieron a brisas y ráfagas y térmicas y corrientes descendentes y lo que sea sobre Nebraska y Kansas y se movieron como arroyos en ríos y chorros en y frentes militares que se reunieron como avalanchas y rugieron en sentido inverso por senderos de bueyes pioneros, hacia nuestros propios culos personales sin abrigo.

• No hay floraciones vernales en sus rocas tórpidas,
  Pero el invierno persistente hiela el regazo de mayo;
  Ningún céfiro acaricia el pecho de la montaña,
  pero los meteoros brillan, y las tormentas se invierten.
