Open Ocean

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or ocean:

    A breeze discovered my open book
    And began to flutter the leaves to look
    For a poem there used to be on Spring.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
