City Sea Gulls

Famous quotes containing the words city, sea and/or gulls:

    “This city now doth, like a garment, wear
    The beauty of the morning; silent bare,
    Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
    Open unto the fields and to the sky;
    All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “blind wantons like the gulls who scream
    And rip the edge off any ideal or dream.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
