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”)

    “Courage without conscience is a wild beast.”
    —Robert Green Ingersoll (1833–1899)

    “O beautiful for spacious skies,
    For amber waves of grain,
    For purple mountain majesties
    Above the fruited plain!”
    —Katharine Lee Bates (1859–1929)
