Sea Journey

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or journey:

    “All the morning we had heard the sea roar on the eastern shore, which was several miles distant.... It was a very inspiriting sound to walk by, filling the whole air, that of the sea dashing against the land, heard several miles inland. Instead of having a dog to growl before your door, to have an Atlantic Ocean to growl for a whole Cape!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My Mother! when I learnt that thou wast dead,
    Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
    Hovered thy spirit o’er thy sorrowing son,
    Wretch even then, life’s journey just begun?”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
