Ocean Floor

Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or floor:

    “The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “The distant box is open. A sound of grain
    Poured over the floor in some eagerness we
    Rise with the night let out of the box of wind.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
