1810-1819 Atlantic Hurricane Seasons

Famous quotes containing the words atlantic, hurricane and/or seasons:

    “All the morning we had heard the sea roar on the eastern shore, which was several miles distant.... It was a very inspiriting sound to walk by, filling the whole air, that of the sea dashing against the land, heard several miles inland. Instead of having a dog to growl before your door, to have an Atlantic Ocean to growl for a whole Cape!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Thought and beauty, like a hurricane or waves, should not know conventional, delimited forms.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Bind us in time, O seasons clear, and awe.
    O minstrel galleons of Carib fire,
    Bequeath us to no earthly shore until
    Is answered in the vortex of our grave
    The seal’s wide spindrift gaze toward paradise.”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
