Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or walls:
“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)
“before its great shadow joined
the walls and roof and seemed
to uphold the hall like a beam.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
