Famous quotes containing the word sea:

    “Ere long, not only these banks, but on every hill and plain and in every hollow, the frost comes out of the ground like a dormant quadruped from its burrow, and seeks the sea with music, or migrates to other climes in clouds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “As the tide crept, the land
    burned with a lizard-blue
    where the dark sea met the sand.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “It was a soft medicine
    that came from the sea into my mouth,
    moist and plump.
    I swallowed.”
