Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or shape:
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But her shape is the least of my madness; she has things by which it is more pleasing to die.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
