Famous quotes containing the word sea:

    “For she has made me the laily worm
    That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
    An’ my sister Masery she’s made
    The machrel of the sea.”
    —Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)

    “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)
