Sea Power

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or power:

“O you singers solitary, singing by yourself, projecting me,
O solitary me listening, never more shall I cease perpetuating you
Never more shall I escape, never more the reverberations,
Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me,
Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what
there in the night,
By the sea under the yellow and sagging moon,
The messenger there aroused, the fire, the sweet hell within,
The unknown want, the destiny of me.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“We know that madness belongs to love,—what power to paint a vile object in hues of heaven.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
