Famous quotes containing the words weather and/or ship:
“What
One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
Between one’s self and the weather and the things
Of the weather are the belief in one’s element,
The casual reunions, the long-pondered
Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
There is nothing more and that it is enough....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“No stir in the air, no stir in the sea,
The ship was still as she could be;”
—Robert Southey (1774–1843)
