Cup Won

Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or won:

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?
    Would you learn who won by the light of the moon and stars?
    List to the yarn, as my grandmother’s father the sailor told it to
    me.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
