Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or walls:
“Through the hollow globe, a ring
of frayed rusty scrapiron,
is it the sea that shines?
Is it a road at the worlds edge?”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“A temple, you know, was anciently an open place without a roof, whose walls served merely to shut out the world and direct the mind toward heaven; but a modern meeting-house shuts out the heavens, while it crowds the world into still closer quarters.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
