Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or reef:
“Neither by nights ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to deaths feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.”

“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
