"There Will Come Soft Rains" is a short story by science fiction author Ray Bradbury, first published in 1950. It tells the tale of a futuristic, automated house that continues to function long after its human occupants have been destroyed in a nuclear war. The story is notable for its use of personification, as the house and its various systems are described as if they were sentient beings.
One of the most famous quotes from the story is the opening line: "The morning of August 4, 2026, was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day." This sets the stage for the events that unfold, as the house goes about its daily routine, unaware that its inhabitants are no longer alive.
Another memorable quote from the story is: "The house stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes. This was the one house left standing." This passage highlights the devastation that has occurred as a result of the nuclear war, and the contrast between the house's pristine condition and the ruined city around it.
A third quote that is particularly notable is: "The trees were green. The grass was green. The streets were quiet." This passage serves to further contrast the house's normal functioning with the chaos and destruction that have taken place outside its walls. The trees and grass continue to grow, while the streets are silent, suggesting that there is no longer any human activity in the area.
In conclusion, "There Will Come Soft Rains" is a thought-provoking short story that uses personification and vivid imagery to explore themes of technology, survival, and the dangers of nuclear war. Its memorable quotes serve to enhance the story's themes and add to its overall impact on the reader.
