Famous quotes containing the word terra:

    A ship is a bit of terra firma cut off from the main; it is a state in itself; and the captain is its king.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one’s stomach the separation from terra ... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known ... this is the only thing I can say about the matter. The utilitarian results do not interest me.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    His firm stanzas hang like hives in hell
    Or what hell was, since now both heaven and hell
    Are one, and here, O terra infidel.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
