Whales Caught

Famous quotes containing the words whales and/or caught:

“Though once there were more whales cast up here, I think that it was never more wild than now.”

“I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy!”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
