Famous quotes containing the word sailing:

    “There’s precious little to say between day and dark,
    Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
    Of time sailing like a magic barque
    Or something as fine for the amenities....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “O western orb sailing the heaven,
    Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walked,
    As I walked in silence the transparent shadowy night,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The Colonel went out sailing,
    He spoke with Turk and Jew
    With Christian and with Infidel
    For all tongues he knew.
    “O what’s a wifeless man?” said he
    And he came sailing home.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
