Black Sea Coast

Famous quotes containing the words black, sea and/or coast:

“The body is no body to be seen
But is an eye that studies its black lid.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Translation is entirely mysterious. Increasingly I have felt that the art of writing is itself translating, or more like translating than it is like anything else. What is the other text, the original? I have no answer. I suppose it is the source, the deep sea where ideas swim, and one catches them in nets of words and swings them shining into the boat ... where in this metaphor they die and get canned and eaten in sandwiches.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

“This coast crying out for tragedy like all beautiful places,”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
