Famous quotes containing the words north, coast and/or humboldt:
“It is the sea that whitens the roof.
The sea drifts through the winter air.
It is the sea that the north wind makes.
The sea is in the falling snow.
This gloom is the darkness of the sea.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“How happy is the sailor’s life,
From coast to coast to roam;
In every port he finds a wife,
In every land a home.”
—Isaac Bickerstaffe (c. 1735–1812)
“Possession, it is true, crowns exertion with rest; but it is only in the illusions of fancy that it has power to charm us.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
