Famous quotes containing the words herring and/or bay:

    “No contact with savage Indian tribes has ever daunted me more than the morning I spent with an old lady swathed in woolies who compared herself to a rotten herring encased in a block of ice.”
    —Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)

    “The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
    Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
    Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
    Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
