Famous quotes containing the word depth:

    From the depth of the dreamydecline of the dawn through a notable
    nimbus of nebulous noonshine,
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    The lotus’ stem is as long as the depth of water,
    So men’s height is just as great as their inner strength.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
    Tears from the depth of some divine despair
    Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
    In looking on the happy autumn-fields,
    And thinking of the days that are no more.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
