Surface Waters

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or waters:

    See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

    Shee said, Lullabye, my owne deere child!
    Lullabye, deere child, deere!
    I wold thy father were a king,
    Thy mother layd on a beere!

    ‘Peace now,’ he said, ‘good Faire Ellen,
    And be of good cheere, I thee pray,
    And the bridall and the churching both,
    They shall bee upon one day.’
    —Unknown. Child Waters (l. 157–164)
