White Sand

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or sand:

“My age fallen away like white swaddling
Floats in the middle distance, becomes
An inhabited cloud.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. Some think it is bottomless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
