Ocean Motion

Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or motion:

    On an old shore, the vulgar ocean rolls
    Noiselessly, noiselessly, resembling a thin bird,
    That thinks of settling, yet never settles, on a nest.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Thence, flow! conceit and motion to rehearse
    Pastoral terrors of youth still in the man,
    Torsions of sleep, in emblematic verse
    Rattling like dice unless the verse shall scan
    All chance away....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
