headland quotes

All night, this headland Lunges into the rumpling Capework of the wind.

- Richard Wilbur
  The Mind Reader,'Sleepless at Crown Point'.

What soul was his, when, from the naked top Of some bold headland, he beheld the sun Rise up, and bathe the world in light! He looked Ocean and earth, the solid frame of earth And ocean's liquid mass, in gladness lay Beneath him:Far and wide the clouds were touched, And in their silent faces he could read Unutterable love.

-William Wordsworth
  'The Excursion', bk.1, l.198^205.
