Fast Ropax Ferry

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or ferry:

    The wand is will; thou, fancy, saddle art,
    Girt fast by memory; and while I spur
    My horse, he spurs with sharp desire my heart;
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
