Captain White

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or white:

    The captain was a duck
    With a packet on his back,
    And when the ship began to move
    The captain said, Quack! Quack!

    As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
    When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
    So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
    O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
