Swan Station

Famous quotes containing the words swan and/or station:

“The reason is:
rats leave the sinking ship
but we . . .
we . . .
didn’t leave,
so the ship
didn’t sink,
and that’s madness,
Lear’s song
that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
that’s swan of Avon logic.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
