The sea! the sea! — Xenophon · 370 BC Oh! dream of joy! is this indeed The lighthouse top I see? Is this the hill? Is this the kirk? Is this mine one countree? — Samuel Taylor Coleridge · 1798 We sighted, far away, dim hills and a low coast-line-Italy. Achates was the first to hail, "Italy! Italy!" my comrades echoed in cheerful greeting. — Virgil · 19 BC I went into the neighborhood in that State in which I was raised, where my mother and only sister were buried, and from which I had been absent about fifteen years. That part of the country is, within itself, as unpoetical as any spot of the earth; but still, seeing it and its objects and inhabitants aroused feelings in me which were certainly poetry; though whether my expression of those feelings is poetry is quite another question. — Abraham Lincoln · 1846
