Dock Gates

Famous quotes containing the words dock and/or gates:

“You turn
To speak to someone beside the dock and the lighthouse
Shines like garnets. It has become a stricture.”

“Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood
Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired land where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in that land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
