Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or bell:

    The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
    Martin Luther (1483–1546)

    His are the quiet steeps of dreamland,
    The waters of no-more-pain;
    His ram’s bell rings ‘neath an arch of stars,
    “Rest, rest, and rest again.”
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
