Famous quotes containing the words ebb and/or tide:
“You are now
In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow
At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore
Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more.
Yet in its depth what treasures!”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“‘Tis with my mind
As with the tide swelled up unto his height,
That makes a still-stand, running neither way.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
