High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    “If I must choose which I would elevate
    The people or the already lofty mountains,
    I’d elevate the already lofty mountains.
    The only fault I find with old New Hampshire
    Is that her mountains aren’t quite high enough.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “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)
