Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

“The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“For through it all—above, beyond it all—
I know the far-sent message of the years,
I feel the coming glory of the Light.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“With these I would be.
And with water: the waves coming forward, without cessation,
The waves, altered by sand-bars, beds of kelp, miscellaneous
driftwood,
Topped by cross-winds, tugged at by sinuous undercurrents
The tide rustling in, sliding between the ridges of stone,
The tongues of water, creeping in, quietly.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
