Eastern Jewel

Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or jewel:

    All the morning we had heard the sea roar on the eastern shore, which was several miles distant.... It was a very inspiriting sound to walk by, filling the whole air, that of the sea dashing against the land, heard several miles inland. Instead of having a dog to growl before your door, to have an Atlantic Ocean to growl for a whole Cape!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No one makes mistakes. No one runs away
    Any more. I bite my lip and
    Turn to you. Maybe now you understand.
    The feeling is a jewel like a pearl.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
