Along The Edge of The Lake

"It's mornings like this;

The stingy sun trying to hold back

Even the warmth of its reflection

Flashing coldly In the lake.

When November leaves drop in sudden gusts, (...)."

 

 

Thomas R. Drinkard

MySpot: Glide Past The Rocks to Safer Shores

*Ph of me/ Dreamboy

"A fragrant breeze wandered up from the quiet sea,

trailed along the beach,

and drifted back to the sea again,

wondering where to go next.

On a mad impulse it went up to the beach again. "

 

 

Douglas Adams

MySpot: Drifted Back To Sea

*Ph of me/ Dreamboy

"Time is more complex near the sea than in any other place,

for in addition to the circling of the sun and the turning of the seasons,

the waves beat out the passage of time on the rocks

 and the tides rise and fall as a great clepsydra."

John Steinbeck -Tortilla Flat

Miscellaneous: The Second Man Gets The Shell

"Beauty is an all-pervading presence. (...)

It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea,

and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone.

And not only these minute objects,

but the ocean (...)."

 

William Ellery Channing

The Sea Complains Upon A Thousand Shores

"Nothing is wasted, nothing is in vain:

The seas roll over but the rocks remain."

 

 

A. P. Herbert

MySpot: The Watery Part of The World

*Ph of me/ Dreamboy

"The sun was shining on the sea,

Shining with all his might:

He did his very best to make

The billows smooth and bright -

And this was very odd, because it was

The middle of the night."

   

 Lewis Carroll

MySpot: Praise The Sea, On Shore Remain

*Ph of me/ Dreamboy

"The voice of the sea is seductive;

never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring,

inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude;

to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation."

 

 

Kate Chopin - The Awakening

Little Boats Should Keep Near Shore

"We may have all come on different ships,

but we're in the same boat now."

 

Martin Luther King Jr.
