Small Boat

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or boat:

    My consolation is to think of the women I have known, now that there is no longer such thing as elegance. But how can people who contemplate these horrible creatures under their hats covered in pigeon-houses or gardens, how can they understand the charm of seeing Madame Swann wearing a simple mauve cap or a small hat surmounted by a straight iris?
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Clear and diminished like a scene cut in cameo
    The lighthouse, and the boat on the beach, and the two shapes
    Of the woman and the man;
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
