Famous quotes containing the words china and/or sea:
“The roof of England fell
Great Paris tolled her bell
And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”

boiling, over the west past all control
rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”
