Famous quotes containing the words ivory and/or coast:

“And ivory and bright gold,
polished and lustrous grow faint
beside that wondrous flesh
and print of her foot-hold.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“The Boston papers had never told me that there were seals in the harbor. I had always associated these with the Esquimaux and other outlandish people. Yet from the parlor windows all along the coast you may see families of them sporting on the flats. They were as strange to me as the merman would be. Ladies who never walk in the woods, sail over the sea. To go to sea! Why, it is to have the experience of Noah,—to realize the deluge. Every vessel is an ark.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
