Wave Black

Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or black:

“And his wish is intimacy,
Intimater intimacy,
And a stricter privacy;
The impossible shall yet be done,
And, being two, shall still be one.
As the wave breaks to foam on shelves,
Then runs into a wave again,
So lovers melt their sundered selves,
Yet melted would be twain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Long sibilant-muscled trees
Were lifting up, the black poplars.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
