Famous quotes containing the words battles and/or sea:

    “Fasten your hair with a golden pin,
    And bind up every wandering tress;
    I bade my heart build these poor rhymes:
    It worked at them, day out, day in,
    Building a sorrowful loveliness
    Out of the battles of old times.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
    Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes,
    Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears.
    What is it else? A madness most discreet,
    A choking gall and a preserving sweet.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
