High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    But let my due feet never fail
    To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
    And love the high embowed roof,
    With antic pillars massy proof,
    And storied windows richly dight,
    Casting a dim, religious light.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Yet
    I trust the sanity of my vessel; and
    if it sinks, it may well be in answer
    to the reasoning of the eternal voices,
    the waves which have kept me from reaching you.
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
