Shadow Coast

Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or coast:

    Mark where the pressing wind shoots javelin-like
    Its skeleton shadow on the broad-backed wave!
    Here is a fitting spot to dig Love’s grave;
    George Meredith (1828–1909)

    It cannot but affect our philosophy favorably to be reminded of these shoals of migratory fishes, of salmon, shad, alewives, marsh-bankers, and others, which penetrate up the innumerable rivers of our coast in the spring, even to the interior lakes, their scales gleaming in the sun; and again, of the fry which in still greater numbers wend their way downward to the sea.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
