Atmospheric Tides

Famous quotes containing the words atmospheric and/or tides:

    Nor has science sufficient humanity, so long as the naturalist overlooks the wonderful congruity which subsists between man and the world; of which he is lord, not because he is the most subtile inhabitant, but because he is its head and heart, and finds something of himself in every great and small thing, in every mountain stratum, in every new law of color, fact of astronomy, or atmospheric influence which observation or analysis lay open.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I have tossed hours upon the tides of fever,
    Upon the billows of my bood have ridden,
    Where fish of fancy teem as neither river
    Nor ocean spawns from India to Sweden.
    Vassar Miller (b. 1924)
