First Sea Lord/first Sea Lords 1904-present

Famous quotes containing the words sea, lord and/or lords:

    For half a mile from the shore it was one mass of white breakers, which, with the wind, made such a din that we could hardly hear ourselves speak.... This was the stormiest sea that we witnessed,—more tumultuous, my companion affirmed, than the rapids of Niagara, and, of course, on a far greater scale. It was the ocean in a gale, a clear, cold day, with only one sail in sight, which labored much, as if it were anxiously seeking a harbor.... It was the roaring sea, thalassa exeessa.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The LORD will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 28:12.

    set upon a golden bough to sing
    To lords and ladies of Byzantium
    Of what is past, or passing, or to come.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
