Continental Shelf Extending

Famous quotes containing the words shelf and/or extending:

    Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows,
    Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,—
    But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still
    With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-red moon, which now shone vividly through that once barely- discernible fissure,... extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base. While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
