Famous quotes containing the words surge and/or current:
“We have had enough of action, and of motion we,
Rolled to starboard, rolled to larboard, when the surge was seething
free,”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
