High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    How tall the buildings were as I began
    To live, and how high the rain that battered them!
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    the whole sea become an entanglement of watery bodies
    lost to the world bearing what they cannot hold. Broken,

    beaten, desolate, reaching from the dead to be taken up
    they cry out, failing, failing! their cries rising
    in waves still as the skillful yachts pass over.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
