Usage examples for brine
-
In the Prologue to Fifine at the Fair he compares the joy of poetry to a swimmer's joy in the sea: the vigour that such disport in sun and sea communicates is the vigour of joyous play; afterwards, if we please, we can ascertain the constituents of sea- water by a chemical analysis; but the analysis will not convey to us the sensations of the sunshine and the dancing brine. – Robert Browning by Edward Dowden
