Famous quotes containing the words beautiful and/or sea:
“O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!”

“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
