Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:
“Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usna’s children died.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Achilles had strapped the wind
About his ankles,
He brushed rocks
The waves had flung.
He ran in armour.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
