Captain Thomas

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or thomas:

    The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Listen. The minstrels sing
    In the departed villages. The nightingale,
    Dust in the buried wood, flies on the grains of her wings
    And spells on the winds of the dead his winter’s tale.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
