Full Wave

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or wave:

    “There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “And his wish is intimacy,
    Intimater intimacy,
    And a stricter privacy;
    The impossible shall yet be done,
    And, being two, shall still be one.
    As the wave breaks to foam on shelves,
    Then runs into a wave again,
    So lovers melt their sundered selves,
    Yet melted would be twain.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
