Famous quotes containing the words lap and/or steel:
“Far from the sun and summer-gale
In thy green lap was Natures Darling laid,
What time, where lucid Avon strayd,
To him the mighty mother did unveil
Her awful face:”
—Thomas Gray (17161771)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (18661934)
