Heat Island Effect

Famous quotes containing the words heat, island and/or effect:

“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon, too soon—before life itself.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

“Beyond this island bound
By a thin sea of flesh
And a bone coast ...”

“The effect of studying masterpieces is to make me admire and do otherwise.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
