Vessel

Famous quotes containing the word vessel:

    To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
    The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
    The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
    And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    This could be the day.
    I could slip anchor and wander
    to the end of the jetty
    uncoil into the waters
    a vessel of light moonglade
    ride the freshets to sundown
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
