Famous quotes containing the words gentle and/or waves:
“The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place; and night after night a mans bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.”

“the whole sea become an entanglement of watery bodies
lost to the world bearing what they cannot hold. Broken,
beaten, desolate, reaching from the dead to be taken up
they cry out, failing, failing! their cries rising
in waves still as the skillful yachts pass over.”
—William Carlos Williams (18831963)
