Famous quotes containing the words port and/or lincoln:
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
