Brighton Beach Handicap

Famous quotes containing the words beach and/or handicap:

    “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”)

    “I have the handicap of being born with a special language to which I alone have the key.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
