Famous quotes containing the words eternal, sailor and/or moon:
“If you think of paying court to the men in power, your eternal ruin is assured.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I’ve tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
