Ocean Floor

Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or floor:

“So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
And through the music of the languid hours,
They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

“Cats walk the floor at midnight; that enemy of fog,
The moon, wraps the bedpost in receding stillness....”
