Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or harbor:
“The sky seemed so small that winter day,
A dirty light on a lifeless world,
Contracted like a withered stick.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
