Coast Eyes

Famous quotes containing the words coast and/or eyes:

    It cannot but affect our philosophy favorably to be reminded of these shoals of migratory fishes, of salmon, shad, alewives, marsh-bankers, and others, which penetrate up the innumerable rivers of our coast in the spring, even to the interior lakes, their scales gleaming in the sun; and again, of the fry which in still greater numbers wend their way downward to the sea.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Eyes that last I saw in tears
    Through division
    Here in death’s dream kingdom
    The golden vision reappears
    I see the eyes but not the tears
    This is my affliction
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
