thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry.
Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain,
the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still,
and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.
― Ray Bradbury, Green Shadows, White Whale
And I rose
In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days...
― Dylan Thomas, Collected Poems
