Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep”

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....”

Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.”
