Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or burns:
“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weatherd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“Evn thou who mournst the Daisys fate,
That fate is thineno distant date;
Stern Ruins ploughshare drives , elate,
Full on thy bloom,
Till crushd beneath the furrows weight,
Shall be thy doom.”
