Clew Bay Drowning

Famous quotes containing the words bay and/or drowning:

    Shall we now
    Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
    And sell the mighty space of our large honors
    For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
    I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
    Than such a Roman.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I had to kick their law into their teeth in order to save them.
    However I have heard that sometimes you have to deal
    Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
    Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
