Famous quotes containing the words fathoms and/or long:
“And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
Down went the owners—greedy men whom hope of gain
allured:
Oh, dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
““Long for me the rick will wait,
And long will wait the fold,
And long will stand the empty plate,
And dinner will be cold.””
