Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or nymphs:
“repression, however, is not the most obvious characteristic of the
sea;
the sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look.”
—Marianne Moore (18871972)
“I counted two and seventy stenches,
All well defined and several stinks!
Ye Nymphs that reign oer sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (17721834)
