Famous quotes containing the words majesty and/or ship:
“But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The ship goes on
as though nothing else were happening.
Generation after generation,
I go her way.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
