Bare Rocks

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or rocks:

    your bare feet on the floors of silence
    speak in rhymed stanzas to the furniture,
    solemn chests of drawers and heavy chairs
    blinking in the sun you have let in!
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
    To mourn, and murmur and repine,
    To see the wicked placed on high,
    In pride and robes of honor shine.
    But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
    Thy sanctuary taught me so,
    On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
    And fiery billows roll below.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
