Famous quotes containing the word ships:

    Your mind and you are our Sargasso Sea,
    London has swept about you this score years

    Strange spars of knowledge and dimmed wares of price.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep
    James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)

    I saw three ships go sailing by,
    Over the sea, the lifting sea....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
