Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or port:
“Where once the waters of your face
Spun to my screws, your dry ghost blows,
The dead turns up its eye....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“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)
