Famous quotes containing the words eastern shore, eastern and/or shore:

    “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)

    “And not by eastern windows only,
    When daylight comes, comes in the light;
    In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
    But westward, look, the land is bright!”
    —Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)

    “Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)
