Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or link:
“As the tide crept, the land
burned with a lizard-blue
where the dark sea met the sand.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
