Famous quotes containing the words water and/or curtains:
“The night was thick and hazy
When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed ‘em;
For they never, never found ‘em,
And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“O Time the fatal wrack of mortal things,
That draws oblivion’s curtains over kings;”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
