Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “I cannot think this creature died
    By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
    Walking the sea so heavily armed;
    Or does it make for death to be
    Oneself a living armoury?”
    —Andrew Young (1885–1971)

    “Almanacked, their names live; they
    Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,
    Or gallop for what must be joy,”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
