Sea: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

The watery kingdom, whose ambitious head Spits in the face of heaven.— M. V. ii. 6

Bed Of The

Methought, I saw a thousand fearful wrecks; A thousand men, that fishes gnaw'd upon; Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, All scatter'd on the bottom of the sea. Some lay in dead men's sculls; and, in those holes Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept (As 'twere in scorn of eyes) reflecting gems, That woo'd the slimy bottom of the deep, And mock'd the dead-bones that lay scatter'd by.— R. III. i. 4

Sea, Perils Of The

Our hint of woe Is common: every day, some sailor's wife, The masters of some merchant, and the merchant, Have just our theme of woe.— T. ii. 1.

Seasons

The seasons alter; hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose; And on old Hyems' chin, and icy crown, An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds Is, as in mockery, set: The spring, the summer, The childing autumn, angry winter, change Their wonted liveries; and the mazed world, By their increase, now knows not which is which.— M. N. ii. 2.

Season

Every time Serves for the matter that is then born in it.— A. C. ii. 2.

Seasonable

The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark, When neither is attended; and, I think, The nightingale, if she should sing by day, When every goose is cackling, would be thought No better a musician than the wren. How many things by season season'd are, To their right praise, and true perfection.— M.V. V. 1.
