Famous quotes containing the word sailing:

    “I saw three ships come sailing by,
    Come sailing by, come sailing by,
    I saw three ships come sailing by,
    On Christmas Day in the morning.”
    —Unknown. As I Sat on a Sunny Bank. . .

    Oxford Book of Light Verse, The. W. H. Auden, ed. (1938)

    “To sunny waters some
    By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
    They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
    Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
    Or darting salmon.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “Come, cuddle your head on my shoulder, dear,
    Your head like the golden-rod,
    And we will go sailing away from here
    To the beautiful land of Nod.”
    —Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855–1919)
