Sure, in their models, scientists can see a precise date of when the gulf-stream will shut down or when the albedo effect will take over and global warming will be irreversible. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But I wandered north and north, upon the treacherous warm gulf-stream, till I met with the cold icebergs, afloat in the mid ocean. ❋ Unknown (2007)
We float out our life in the mid-ocean, with the warm sunshine above our heads, and the warm gulf-stream below; and that is enough for us. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The climate of Niigata and of most of this great province contrasts unpleasantly with the region on the other side of the mountains, warmed by the gulf-stream of the North Pacific, in which the autumn and winter, with their still atmosphere, bracing temperature, and blue and sunny skies, are the most delightful seasons of the year. ❋ Isabella Lucy (2004)
There was the source of migration, the factory of nomads, the springing of the gulf-stream of desert wanderers. ❋ Thomas Edward (2003)
The far off milky way, bright gulf-stream of astral glories, spanning the ethereal deep, resounded with its harmonies, and the star-dust isles floating in that river of opal, re-echoed the happy chorus from every sparkling strand. ❋ Robert L. Taylor (N/A)
Did you never, in cleaving the green waters of the Back Bay, -- where the Provincial blue-noses are in the habit of beating the "Metropolitan" boat-clubs, -- find yourself in a tepid streak, a narrow, local gulf-stream, a gratuitous warm-bath a little underdone, through which your glistening shoulders soon flashed, to bring you back to the cold realities of full-sea temperature? ❋ Various (N/A)
QUOTATION: Truly there is a tide in the affairs of men; but there is no gulf-stream setting forever in one direction. ❋ Unknown (1919)
The central idea in Whichcote's teaching, which runs like a gulf-stream through all his writings, is his absolute certainty that there is something in the "very make of man" [24] which links the human spirit to the Divine Spirit and which thus makes it as natural for man to be religious as it is for him to seek food for his body. ❋ Rufus Matthew Jones (1905)
The pack which was forming to the south of us has partly cleared away, and the water is so warm as to lead me to believe that we are lying in one of those branches of the gulf-stream which run up between Greenland and Spitzbergen. ❋ Unknown (1894)
That the sea-waves might be as my raiment, the gulf-stream a garment for me. ❋ Algernon Charles Swinburne (1873)
It desires, as its terms expressly intend, to avoid that gulf-stream in the confluence of politics and legislation. ❋ Robert Ruffin (1863)
Truly there is a tide in the affairs of men; but there is no gulf-stream setting forever in one direction. ❋ John Bartlett (1862)
The flowing of the gulf-stream and the annual migration of icebergs towards the equator, depending as they do on the balancing of the centripetal and centrifugal forces acting on the ocean, involve in their explanation the Earth's rotation and spheroidal form, the laws of hydrostatics, the relative densities of cold and warm water, and the doctrines of evaporation. ❋ Herbert Spencer (1861)
Denham's room when the door was open, or poured in upon him in ameliorating rivulets through the keyhole, like a little gulf-stream, when the door was shut. ❋ Unknown (1859)
Truly there is a tide in the affairs of men, but there is no gulf-stream setting forever in one direction; and those waves of enthusiasm on whose crumbling crests we sometimes see nations lifted for a gleaming moment are wont to have a gloomy trough before and behind. ❋ James Russell Lowell (1855)
Bay, -- where the Provincial blue-noses are in the habit of beating the "Metropolitan" boat-clubs, -- find yourself in a tepid streak, a narrow, local gulf-stream, a gratuitous warm-bath a little underdone, through which your glistening shoulders soon flashed, to bring you back to the cold realities of full-sea temperature? ❋ Oliver Wendell Holmes (1851)
Besides that, it was bordered by evanescent isthmuses, with a great gulf-stream running about all over it; so that it was perfectly beautiful, and contained only a single tree, 503 feet high. ❋ Edward Lear (1850)
"He [seriously] [told] me to make use of my gulf stream while we were apart. [Twat]." ❋ Krkič (2020)
