Reef Formed

Famous quotes containing the words reef and/or formed:

    As the bird trims her to the gale,
    I trim myself to the storm of time,
    I man the rudder, reef the sail,
    Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
    “Lowly faithful, banish fear,
    Right onward drive unharmed;
    The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
    And every wave is charmed.”

    Poor vaunt of life indeed,
    Were man but formed to feed
    On joy, to solely seek and find and feast:
