Famous quotes containing the words dolphins and/or season:

    headland beyond stormy headland plunging like dolphins through the
    gray sea-smoke
    Into pale sea, look west at the hill of water: it is half the
    planet: this dome, this half-globe, this bulging
    Eyeball of water,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
