Maiden Voyage April

Famous quotes containing the words maiden and/or voyage:

    A maiden marries to please her parents; a widow to please herself.
    Chinese proverb.

    But where is laid the sailor John
    That so many lands had known,
    Quiet lands or unquiet seas
    Where the Indians trade or Japanese?
    He never found his rest ashore,
    Moping for one voyage more.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
