Tide Gauge House

Famous quotes containing the words tide and/or house:

    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)

    Yet the day wears,
    And door succeeds door;
    I try the fresh fortune—
    Range the wide house from the wing to the centre,
    Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.
    Spend my whole day in the quest,—who cares?
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
