Seas & Oceans

“

Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow—
Such as creation’s dawn beheld, thou rollest now.

George Noel Gordon (Lord Byron)

“

There’s not a sea the passenger e’er pukes in,
Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.

George Noel Gordon (Lord Byron)

“

Ocean, who is the source of all.

Homer

“

I have since become a salt-water man, but sometimes in summer there are days when the restlessness of the tides and the fearful cold of the sea water and the incessant wind that blows across the afternoon and into the evening make me wish for the placidity of a lake in the woods.

E. B. White

“

Thou mastering me
God! giver of breath and bread;
World’s strand, sway of the sea;
Lord of living and dead;
Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh,
And after it almost unmade, what with dread,
Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh?
Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

“

Tomorrow once again we sail the Ocean Sea.

Horace
