Inland Quotes - page 2
Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither.
William Wordsworth
But even so, amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still for ever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy.
Herman Melville
So, it was argued, the Mediterranean had once opened a passage for itself by the Columns of Hercules into the Atlantic, and perhaps the abundance of sea-shells in Africa, near the Temple of Jupiter Ammon, might also be the deposit of some former inland sea, which had at length forced a passage and escaped.
Charles Lyell
This is to be a summary poem of the life of the Atlantic coast of this country, nourished by the communications which run down it.

Local images have one kind of reality. U. S. 1 will, I hope, have that kind and another too. Poetry can extend the document.
Muriel Rukeyser
For fear of dropping the troops in the sea, the pilots tended to drop them too far inland - some of them actually in the British lines. The weapon containers often fell wide of the troops, which was another handicap that contributed to our excessive casualties.
Kurt Student
Westward and inland there was a form of government, some prince or other sitting on his backside ordering this or that.
Tanith Lee
