Red Sea Coast

Famous quotes containing the words red, sea and/or coast:

    It was almost two years ago, while awaiting the imminent birth of my second child, that I decided to start working part-time. This would have been unthinkable to me when I was younger. At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne’s transgression to pale pink.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    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)

    How happy is the sailor’s life,
    From coast to coast to roam;
    In every port he finds a wife,
    In every land a home.
    Isaac Bickerstaffe (c. 1735–1812)
