Bleached

Famous quotes containing the word bleached:

“Snow,
blessed snow,
comes out of the sky
like bleached flies.”

“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”)

“Others built beautifully and well,
but fell
to lie
like a bleached hull;
other sea-cities have faltered
and striven with the tide.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
