Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or wings:
“The night was thick and hazy
When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed ‘em;
For they never, never found ‘em,
And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“Blest paper-credit! last and best supply!
That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
