Famous quotes containing the word sailing:
“There’s precious little to say between day and dark,
Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
Of time sailing like a magic barque
Or something as fine for the amenities....”

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

Your head like the golden-rod,
And we will go sailing away from here
To the beautiful land of Nod.”
