Famous quotes containing the words guardian, sailor and/or moon:
“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;

Both wise, and both delightful too!
And since love neer will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”

Captain Bligh: I hadnt noticed it. A true sailor can sleep in an oven, if need be, or in a keg of ice.”

She smiles into corners.
She smooths the hair of the grass.
The moon has lost her memory.”
