Agate Beach

Famous quotes containing the words agate and/or beach:

    O heart, small urn
    of porphyry, agate or cornelian,
    how imperceptibly the grain fell
    between a heart-beat of pleasure
    and a heart-beat of pain.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The beach was crowded,
    people tossed like ripe corn,
    buttering themselves as they went
    and on the dunes thousands of crabs,
    moved their yellow eyes.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
