Famous quotes containing the word sea:

    Far and few, far and few,
    Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
    Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
    And they went to sea in a Sieve.
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    It was a soft medicine
    that came from the sea into my mouth,
    moist and plump.
    I swallowed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
    boiling, over the west past all control
    rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
    sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
    think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
