Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or ocean:
“We were soon in the smooth water of the Quakish Lake,... and we had our first, but a partial view of Ktaadn, its summit veiled in clouds, like a dark isthmus in that quarter, connecting the heavens with the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Our fathers waterd with their tears
This sea of time whereon we sail,
Their voices were in all mens ears
Who passd within their puissant hail.
Still the same ocean round us raves,
But we stand mute, and watch the waves.”
—Matthew Arnold (18221888)
