Black Sailors

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sailors:

    I put on
    the body-armor of black rubber
    the absurd flippers
    the grave and awkward mask.

    So far as inland discovery was concerned, the adventurous spirit of the English was that of sailors who land but for a day, and their enterprise the enterprise of traders.
