Ground Waves

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or waves:

“When the ground was partially bare of snow, and a few warm days had dried its surface somewhat, it was pleasant to compare the first tender signs of the infant year just peeping forth with the stately beauty of the withered vegetation which had withstood the winter ... decent weeds, at least, which widowed Nature wears.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He says the waves in the ship’s wake
are like stones rolling away.
I don’t see it that way.”
