Famous quotes containing the words vessel and/or wall:
“The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”

“It is bad to be poor. I shall go to the wall for bread and meat, if I neglect my business this year as well as last.”
