Tide

Famous quotes containing the word tide:

“the tide lays down its wet throat
and alters the land to island—even as I watch
I say there is no shore
apart from stories of it,
no smoke, no hut, no beacon ...”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

“The ordinary night was graced
For them by the swift tide of blood
That silently they took at flood,
And for a little time they prized
Themselves emparadised.”
—Howard Nemerov (b. 1920)

“‘Tis with my mind
As with the tide swelled up unto his height,
That makes a still-stand, running neither way.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
