Surface Waters

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or waters:

    Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
    The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
    Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
    How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
    I only know that all we know comes from you,
    And that you come from Eden on flying feet.

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
