Famous quotes containing the words long and/or wharf:

    This long last childhood
    Nothing provides for.
    What can it do each day
    But hunt that imminent door
    Through which all that understood
    Has hidden away?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
