windlestraw

But before I found them I encountered a windlestraw which showed which way blew the wind and gave promise of a very gale.

It rises on Windlestraw Law, four miles north of Innerleithen, and flows through the Stantling Craig Reservoir.

The sound of his pipe was like singing wasps, and like the wind that sings in windlestraw; and it took hold upon men's ears like the crying of gulls.

And as for you--you who have hardly learned to think for more than five or six short years, there you sit, assured, coherent, there you sit in all your inherited original sin--Hallucinatory Windlestraw!
