Famous quotes containing the words shell and/or beach:

    “I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There I was dragging the ocean, that knock-out,
    in and out by its bottle-green neck, letting it chew
    the rocks, letting it haul beach glass and furniture sticks
    in and out.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
