Tide Gauge House

Famous quotes containing the words tide and/or house:

    Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
    While the world’s tide is bearing me along;
    Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me,
    Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

    The house waited on your private beach
    each day,
    when you had the time to return to her.
    And you so often had the time,
    even when fury blew out her chimney,
    even when love lifted the shingles....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
