White Beaches

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or beaches:

“And when you sigh from kiss to kiss
I hear white Beauty sighing, too,
For hours when all must fade like dew....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
