Wet Sand Heath

Famous quotes containing the words wet, sand and/or heath:

    “The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “I look back at it amid the rain
    For the very last time; for my sand is sinking,
    And I shall traverse old love’s domain
    Never again.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “We are the trade union for pensioners and children, the trade union for the disabled and the sick ... the trade union for the nation as a whole.”
    —Edward Heath (b. 1916)
