Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or phoebus:

    O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
    The ship has weather’d 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 (1819–1892)

    Downy windows, close,
    And golden Phoebus never be beheld
    Of eyes again so royal!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
