Famous quotes containing the words cables and/or laid:

O’ernight ‘twixt mullein stalks a wheel of thread
And straining cables wet with silver dew.”

That so many lands had known,
Quiet lands or unquiet seas
Where the Indians trade or Japanese?
He never found his rest ashore,
Moping for one voyage more.”
