Famous quotes containing the words tropical and/or storm:

    “Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
    A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
    That frequently happens in tropical climes
    When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Think of the storm roaming the sky uneasily
    like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
    listen to it growling.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
