High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    “Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
    All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
    Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation—
    Oh, why did I awake? When shall I sleep again?”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    “Your eyes have pardoned our faults,
    your hands have touched us
    you have leaned forward a little
    and the waves can never thrust us back
    from the splendour of your ragged coast.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
