Bellied Sea Eagle

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or eagle:

“repression, however, is not the most obvious characteristic of the
sea;
the sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-fill’d Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Morning’s draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seiz’d thy parting Soul, and seal’d thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
