Capillary Wave/gravity-capillary Waves

Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or waves:

    Now I stand as one upon a rock,
    Environed with a wilderness of sea,
    Who marks the waxing tide grow wave by wave,
    Expecting ever when some envious surge
    Will in his brinish bowels swallow him.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He says the waves in the ship’s wake
    are like stones rolling away.
    I don’t see it that way.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
