Slide Mountain Ocean

Famous quotes containing the words slide, mountain and/or ocean:

    “We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “We are wearied of our huts
    And the smoky smell of our garments.
    We are sick with desire of the sun
    And the grass on the mountains.”
    —Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 11–14)

    “And such the trust that still were mine,
    Though stormy winds swept o’er the brine,
    Or though the tempest’s fiery breath
    Roused me from sleep to wreck and death.
    In ocean cave, still safe with Thee
    The germ of immortality!
    And calm and peaceful shall I sleep,
    Rocked in the cradle of the deep.”
    —Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
