Wash

Famous quotes containing the word wash:

    You will trail across the rocks
    and wash them with your salt,
    you will curl between sand-hills
    you will thunder along the cliff
    break retreat get fresh strength
    gather and pour weight upon the beach.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I have since written what no tide
    Shall ever wash away, what men
    Unborn shall read o’er ocean wide
    And find Ianthe’s name agen.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.
    Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
