Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“Oh, let me midlife mourn by the shrined
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....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“I saw three ships go sailing by,
Over the sea, the lifting sea....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep”
—James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
