Foam Quotes

I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-born treasures home But the poor, unsightly, noisome things Had left their beauty on the shore, With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Poetry must be as new as foam and as old as the rock. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Eating rice cakes is like chewing on a foam coffee cup, only less filling. View quote
Dave Barry
Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain, Thou art gone, and for ever. View quote
Walter Scott
Lying in a featherbed will not bring you fame, nor staying beneath the quilt, and he who uses up his life without achieving fame leaves no more vestige of himself on earth than smoke in the air or foam upon the water. View quote
Dante Alighieri
Down the mountain walls From where Pan's cavern is Intolerable music falls. Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear, Belly, shoulder, bum, Flash fishlike nymphs and satyrs Copulate in the foam. View quote
William Butler Yeats
Some love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free. View quote
Charles Mackay
For beauty with sorrow Is a burden hard to be borne: The evening light on the foam, and the swans, there; That music, remote, forlorn. View quote
Walter de la Mare
It was close to like a 67- or 70-day shoot for 'Tron' on stage, in the suit. You can't even sit down during the day because of all the cables that divide the foam rubber and all the electrical circuits. We had these stools that were tall with a bicycle seat on them and you're just looking at a blue screen all day. View quote
Garrett Hedlund
When I first started the show, I was known as the 'cop nerd.' I was in the 9th Precinct in the East Village every day. I'd be at work wearing a fake bulletproof vest with foam in it, then I'd leave and put on a real one to ride around with these guys. View quote
Jason Wiles
There is the churning and the boiling of the sea, and the foam on top of it and that is what man is, churning and foam together. (Simone Schwarz-Bart)
Though with those streams he no resemblance hold, Whose foam is amber and their gravel gold; His genuine and less guilty wealth t' explore, Search not his bottom, but survey his shore. View quote
John Denham
The house was full of the sound of the gale. It was a winter northeaster, furious with wind and snow, and driving down against us from the dark and desolate North Atlantic and a thousand miles of whitecaps and slavering foam. View quote
Henry Beston
Far beneath the tainted foam That frets above our peaceful home, We dream in joy and wake in love Nor know the rage that yells above. View quote
John Gardiner Calkins Brainard
The blue woman, linked and lacquered, at her window Did not desire that feathery argentines Should be cold silver, neither that frothy clouds Should foam, be foamy waves, should move like them. View quote
Wallace Stevens
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
I'm in a wild mood tonight. I want to go dance in the foam. I hear the banshees calling. View quote
Raymond Chandler
Henson was an innovator from the start: At a time when many TV puppets relied on wood and strings, he opted for softer materials like felt and foam. This enabled his creations to express a range of emotions, unlike, say, an eternally grinning Howdy Doody. View quote
Jim Henson
What grace of light, what pure toil goes to form The manifold diamond of the elusive foam! What peace I feel begotten at that source! When sunlight rests upon a profound sea, Time's air is sparkling, dream is certainty - Pure artifice both of an eternal Cause. View quote
Paul Valéry
I will take the Government of the United States, and the laws of Missouri and Illinois, from the year 1833 to 1845, and if they had been carried out according to their letter and spirit, they would have strung up the murderers and mobocrats who illegally and unrighteously killed, plundered, harassed, and expelled us. I will tell you how much I love those characters. If they had any respect to their own welfare, they would come forth and say, whether Joseph Smith was a Prophet or not, "We shed his blood, and now let us atone for it;" and they would be willing to have their heads chopped off, that their blood might run upon the ground, and the smoke of it rise before the Lord as an incense for their sins. I love them that much. But if the Lord wishes them to live and foam out their sins before all men and women, it is all right, I care not where they go, or what they do. View quote
Brigham Young
But if the envious nymphs shall fear Their beauties will be scorn'd, And hire the ruder winds to tear That face which you adorn'd; Then rage and foam amain, that we Their malice may despise; And from your froth we soon shall see A second Venus rise. (Thomas Carew)
This city is dying of rabies. Is the best I can do to wipe random flecks of foam from its lips? View quote
Alan Moore
A low line of shore was visible at first on the right between the movement of the waves and fog, but when we came further it was lost sight of, and nothing could be seen but the mist curling in the rigging, and a small circle of foam. View quote
John Millington Synge
Electric flesh-arrows... traversing the body. A rainbow of color strikes the eyelids. A foam of music falls over the ears. It is the gong of the orgasm. View quote
Anaïs Nin
It will be a great day for America, incidentally, when we begin to eat bread again, instead of the blasphemous and tasteless foam rubber that we have substituted for it. And I am not being frivolous here, either. Something very sinister happens to the people of a country when they begin to distrust their own reactions as deeply as they do here, and become as joyless as they have become. View quote
James Baldwin
