Famous quotes containing the words eternal, sailor and/or moon:

Young Dawn of our Eternal Day!

And chase the trembling shades away.
We saw Thee and we blest the sight,
We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light.”

The sailor frae the main,
But I hae parted frae my Love,
Never to meet again, my dear,
Never to meet again.”

begonias or telegrams but
surely this nightgown girl,
this awesome flyer, has not seen
how the moon floats through her
and in between.”
