Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or walker:

    “The curse of hell upon the sleek upstart
    That got the Captain finally on his back
    And took the red red vitals of his heart
    And made the kites to whet their beaks clack clack.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “The clock runs down
    timeless and still.
    The days and nights turn hours to years
    and water in a gutter marks the circle of another world
    hating, resentful, and afraid
    stagnant, and green, and full of slimy things.”
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
