Wave Guide Port

Famous quotes containing the words wave, guide and/or port:

    I hear
    the tide turning. Last
    eager wave over-
    taken and pulled back
    by first wave of the ebb.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    They are friends; and friendly they guide him to prey
    Yet never partake of the treat—
    Eyes and brains to the dotard lethargic and dull,
    Pale ravener of horrible meat.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
