Famous quotes containing the words port and/or visits:
“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“At La Scala it is customary to take no more than twenty minutes for those little visits one pays to boxes.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
