Dark Ocean

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or ocean:

    The soul’s dark cottage, battered and decayed,
    Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made:
    Stronger by weakness, wiser men become
    As they draw near to their eternal home.
    Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view
    That stand upon the threshold of the new.
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    the ocean, under the pulsation of lighthouses and noise of bell
    buoys,
    advances as usual, looking as if it were not that ocean in which
    dropped things are bound to sink—
    in which if they turn and twist, it is neither with volition nor
    consciousness.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
