Deck

Famous quotes containing the word deck:

    Positively I sit here, and look at Europe sink, first one deck disappearing, then another, and the whole ship slowly plunging bow-down into the abyss; until the nightmare gets to be howling. The Roman Empire was a trifle to it.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them
    Printing their proud hooves i’ the receiving earth;
    For ‘tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And every sea-god pays a gem,
    Yearly out of his watery cell,
    To deck great Neptune’s diadem.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
