Sea

A sea is a large body of saline water that may be connected with an ocean or may be a large saline lake that, like the Caspian Sea, lacks a natural outlet. Sometimes the terms sea and ocean are used synonymously.

Famous quotes containing the word sea:

“The sea is mother-death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up.”

“The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits;—”

“When the fierce north-western blast
Cools sea and land so far and fast,
Thou already slumberest deep;
Woe and want thou canst outsleep;
Want and woe, which torture us,
Thy sleep makes ridiculous.”
