Dragon Boats

Famous quotes containing the words dragon and/or boats:

    Opinion is not worth a rush;
    In this altar-piece the knight,
    Who grips his long spear so to push
    That dragon through the fading light,
    Loved the lady; and it’s plain
    The half-dead dragon was her thought....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The frowsy sponge boats keep coming in
    with the obliging air of retrievers,
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
