Sea Anemones

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or anemones:

    The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
    The glittering spears are ranked ready;
    The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
    The battle closes thick and bloody;
    But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
    Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
    Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
    Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Where no great fish venture
    nor small fish glitter and dart,
    only the anemones and flower
    of the wild sea-thyme
    cover the silent walls
    of an old sea-city at rest.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
