Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or captain:
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“John Gilpin was a citizen
Of credit and renown,
A train-band captain eke was he
Of famous London town.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
