Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or girt:
“...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
boiling, over the west past all control
rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“Just girt me for the onset with Eternity,
When breath blew back,
And on the other side
I heard recede the disappointed tide!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
