Tide

Famous quotes containing the word tide:

“As the tide crept, the land
burned with a lizard-blue
where the dark sea met the sand.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“The ordinary night was graced
For them by the swift tide of blood
That silently they took at flood,
And for a little time they prized
Themselves emparadised.”
—Howard Nemerov (b. 1920)

“the tide lays down its wet throat
and alters the land to island—even as I watch
I say there is no shore
apart from stories of it,
no smoke, no hut, no beacon ...”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
