Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or waves:
“I’m telling the truth.
I’m standing at death’s door
and even today
my sight falls
on that thicket
on the Tpt’s pure banks,
just as before.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“the whole sea become an entanglement of watery bodies
lost to the world bearing what they cannot hold. Broken,
beaten, desolate, reaching from the dead to be taken up
they cry out, failing, failing! their cries rising
in waves still as the skillful yachts pass over.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
