Beautiful Sea

Famous quotes containing the words beautiful and/or sea:

    O beautiful white land,
    olives and wild anemone and violet
    mingled among the shale,
    and purple wings
    of little winter-butterflies
    say, here Psyche, the soul, lies.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    SWEENEY:
    Nothing to eat but the fruit as it grows.
    Nothing to see but the palmtrees one way
    And the sea the other way,
    Nothing to hear but the sound of the surf.
    Nothing at all but three things
    DORIS: What things?
    SWEENEY: Birth, and copulation, and death.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
