Ship Missile Designed

Famous quotes containing the words ship, missile and/or designed:

    It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.
    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    ... the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Oh he
    Comes designed to my love to steal not her tide raking
    Wound, nor her riding high, nor her eyes, nor kindled hair,
    But her faith....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
