Famous quotes containing the word ghost:

    the ghosts of the tribe
    Crouch in the nights beside the ghost of a fire, they try to
    remember the sunlight,
    Light has died out of their skies.

    An old, mad man still climbing in his ghost,
    My fathers’ ghost is climbing in the rain.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    If I asked her master he’d give me a cask a day;
    But she, with the beer at hand, not a gill would arrange!
    May she marry a ghost and bear him a kitten, and may
    The High King of Glory permit her to get the mange.
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
