Famous quotes containing the words arabian and/or sea:

    O animal excellence,
    Take pterodactyl flight
    Fire-winged into the air
    And find your lair
    With cunning sense
    On some Arabian bight....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The sea curling,
    Star-climbed, wind-combed, cumbered with itself still
    As at first it was, is the hand no yet contented
    Of the Creator. And he waits for the world to begin.
    William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
