Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or girt:
“Is there any place on land or sea where there is no war?... Blackout. Blackout. Blackout. Blackout. Everywhere people stumblin’ in the dark. Is there to be no more light in the world? Is there no place in this dark land where a man who’s drunk can find a decent bit of fun?”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“Just girt me for the onset with Eternity,
When breath blew back,
And on the other side
I heard recede the disappointed tide!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
