Sea Anemones

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or anemones:

    “And then the man whom Sorrow named his friend
    Cried out, Dim sea, hear my most piteous story!
    The sea swept on and cried her old cry still,
    Rolling along in dreams from hill to hill.
    He fled the persecution of her glory....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
