Storm Surge Barrier

Famous quotes containing the words storm, surge and/or barrier:

“And true, they are hurling spittle, rock,
Garbage and fruit in Little Rock.
And I saw coiling storm a-writhe
On bright madonnas. And a scythe
Of men harassing brownish girls.”

“We have had enough of action, and of motion we,
Rolled to starboard, rolled to larboard, when the surge was seething
free,”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
