High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    “The high plains, the beginning of the desert West, often act as a crucible for those who inhabit them. Like Jacob’s angel, the region requires that you wrestle with it before it bestows a blessing.”
    —Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

    “Come unto these yellow sands,
    And then take hands.
    Curtsied when you have and kissed
    The wild waves whist,
    Foot it featly here and there;
    And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
