Sea/history

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or history:

“I, a spinning man,
Glory also this star, bird
Roared, sea born, man torn, blood blest.”

“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
