Sank

Famous quotes containing the word sank:

    My mother read secondarily for information; she sank as a hedonist into novels. She read Dickens in the spirit in which she would have eloped with him.
    Eudora Welty (b. 1909)

    The Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than “Commissioned 1940. Sank 1941. Engagements, none. Shots fired, none.” Now you can’t let her go that way. That’s like a beautiful woman dying an old maid.
    Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)

    We took one look round,
    Then sank out of sight like trolls underground....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
