What is swim?

Famous quotes containing the word swim:

    The soul establishes itself.
    But how far can it swim out through the eyes
    And still return safely to its nest?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The richest of all lords is Use,
    And ruddy Health the loftiest Muse.
    Live in the sunshine, swim the sea,
    Drink the wild air’s salubrity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To me, the sea is like a person—like a child that I’ve known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I’m out there.
    Gertrude Ederle (b. 1906)
