Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or bell:

    And he was lost among the waves,
    His ship rolled helpless in the sea,
    The fourth month of his voyage
    He shouted grievously
    “Beloved, do not think of me.”
    Alun Lewis (1915–1944)

    When a nation’s young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.
    Henry Ward Beecher (1813–1887)
