Current Top Star

Famous quotes containing the words current, top and/or star:

    You are the current of the frozen stream,
    Shadow invisible, ambushed and vigilant flame.

    Oh! shipmates! on the starboard hand of every woe, there is a sure delight; and the higher the top of that delight, than the bottom of the woe is deep.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
    That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
    As obstinacy, both in men and women,
    Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
    And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
    To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
