Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“Oh, let me midlife mourn by the shrined
And druid herons vows
The voyage to ruin I must run,
Dawn ships clouted aground,
Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
Count my blessings aloud....”

Over the proud unfruitful sea,
East and west the ships came back
Happily or unhappily....”
