Big Blue Deck

Famous quotes containing the words big, blue and/or deck:

    The hippopotamus is strong
    And huge of head and broad of bustle;
    The limbs on which he rolls along
    Are big with hippopotomuscle.
    Arthur Guiterman (1891–1943)

    When the inhabitants of some sequestered island first descry the “big canoe” of the European rolling through the blue waters towards their shores, they rush down to the beach in crowds, and with open arms stand ready to embrace the strangers. Fatal embrace! They fold to their bosoms the vipers whose sting is destined to poison all their joys; and the instinctive feeling of love within their breasts is soon converted into the bitterest hate.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    And every sea-god pays a gem,
    Yearly out of his watery cell,
    To deck great Neptune’s diadem.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
