Wild Waves

Famous quotes containing the words wild waves, wild and/or waves:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    In the ranks of death you’ll find him,
    His father’s sword he has girded on,
    And his wild harp slung behind him.”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “There are no waves without wind.”
