Famous quotes containing the words fathoms and/or long:
“And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
Down went the owners—greedy men whom hope of gain
allured:
Oh, dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.”

“and wove seven strings,
Sweet with all music, out of his long hair,
Because her hands had been made wild by love.”
