Shining Sea

Famous quotes containing the words shining and/or sea:

    Was seiz’d by the spirit that trails in the lines underfoot,
    The rim, the sediment that stands for all the water and all the land
    of the globe.

    Fascinated, my eyes reverting from the south, dropt, to follow those slender windrows,
    Chaff, straw, splinters of wood, weeds, and the sea-gluten,
    Scum, scales from shining rocks, leaves of salt-lettuce, left by the tide,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The sea is calm to-night.
    The tide is full, the moon lies fair
    Upon the straits;—
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
