Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or smith:
“Across the lonely beach we flit,
One little sandpiper and I;
And fast I gather, bit by bit,
The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
The wild waves reach their hands for it,
The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
As up and down the beach we flit—
One little sandpiper and I.”
—Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)
“We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stouter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
