Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“Oh, let me midlife mourn by the shrined
And druid herons’ vows
The voyage to ruin I must run,
Dawn ships clouted aground,
Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
Count my blessings aloud....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
—Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)
