Famous quotes containing the words council, exploration and/or sea:

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    If I were as I once was, the strong hoofs crushing the sand and the shells,
    Coming out of the sea as the dawn comes, a chaunt of love on my lips,
    Not coughing, my head on my knees, and praying, and wroth with the bells,
    I would leave no saint’s head on his body from Rachlin to Bera of ships.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
