Heat Island

Famous quotes containing the words heat and/or island:

    Red river, red river,
    Slow flow heat is silence
    No will is still as a river
    Still.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
