High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
    A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
    The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
    Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He says the waves in the ship’s wake
    are like stones rolling away.
    I don’t see it that way.
