Evergreen Tropical Wet

Famous quotes containing the words evergreen, tropical and/or wet:

    Oh, you’ll love the sea. There’s something about it. The hot red dawn, the towering sails, the wake on a tropical night. Oh, you’ll love it all. It’s a glorious kind of world. I couldn’t live without it.
    —Charles Larkworthy. Denison Clift. Capt. Benjamin Briggs (Arthur Margetson)

    Gabriel will come from the water
    With a fish-tail, and talk
    Of wonders that have happened
    On wet roads where men walk....
