Captain Thomas

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or thomas:

    Now that I had heard a part of his history, he appeared singularly destitute,—a captain without any vessel, only a greatcoat! and that perhaps a borrowed one! Not even a dog followed him; only his title stuck to him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank;
    A ferlie he spied wi’ his e’e;
    And there he saw a lady bright,
    Come riding down by the Eildon Tree.
    —Unknown. Thomas the Rhymer (l. 1–4)
