Robinson/ships

Famous quotes containing the words robinson and/or ships:

    Like a wild stranger out of wizard-land
    He dwelt a little with us, and withdrew;
    Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
    Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Give blue-eyed men their swivel chairs
    To whirl in tall buildings.
    Allow them many ships at sea,
    And on land, soldiers
    And policemen.
    Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
