Famous quotes containing the word fleet:

    “Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
    Which I gaze on so fondly today,
    Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
    Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “On the middle of that quiet floor
    sits a fleet of small black ships,
    square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
    their spars like burned matchsticks.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
    For so appears this fleet majestical.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
