Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or walker:

    But that his wife should be one of the performers, that she should be gazed at by a crowd as she tripped about, and that, after all that had been said, she should be tripping in the arms of Captain De Baron, was almost more than he could endure.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    An evil moon bleeds drops of death.
    The earth burns brown.
    Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
    Earth wears a dun-colored dress
    like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
    be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
