Famous quotes containing the words sands and/or provincial:
“I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands as directed to
me whispering to congratulate me,
For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
In the stillness in the autumn moonbeams his face was inclined
toward me,
And his arm lay lightly around my breastand that night I
was happy.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
