Atlantic

Famous quotes containing the word atlantic:

    “Boys hide in lunging cubes
    Crouching to explode,
    Beyond the Atlantic skies,
    With cheerful cries
    Their barking tubes
    Upon the German toad.”

    —John Guare (b. 1938)

    “Obscurest night involv’d the sky,
    Th’ Atlantic billows roar’d,
    When such a destin’d wretch as I,
    Wash’d headlong from on board,
    Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
    His floating home for ever left.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
