Beach Fire Department

Famous quotes containing the words beach, fire and/or department:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “The sky it seems would pour down stinking pitch,
    But that the sea, mounting to the welkin’s cheek,
    Dashes the fire out.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In the great department store of life, baseball is the toy department.”
    —Los Angeles Sportscaster. quoted in Independent Magazine (London, Sept. 28, 1991)
