Moored Balloons

Famous quotes containing the words moored and/or balloons:

    “And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

    In the afternoon, balloons at night. That is

    Jehovah and the great sea-worm.”
