Ocean Floor

Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or floor:

    Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
    Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
    So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
    Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    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)
