Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“Shuttles in the rocking loom of history,
the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
their bright ironical names
like jests of kindness on a murderers mouth;”
—Robert Earl Hayden (19131980)
“A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.”

And druid herons vows
The voyage to ruin I must run,
Dawn ships clouted aground,
Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
Count my blessings aloud....”
