Famous quotes containing the words base and/or surge:
“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles oer his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“We have had enough of action, and of motion we,
Rolled to starboard, rolled to larboard, when the surge was seething
free,”
