Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“Haven’t you heard, though,
About the ships where war has found them out
At sea, about the towns where war has come
Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
And children in the ships and in the towns?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep”
—James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
“Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
—Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)
