Foynes Flying Boat

Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or boat:

    “The savage soul of game is up at once—
    The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
    Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
    Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
    O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
    Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “The almost unexplored Everglades lay close by and with a half- hour’s start a man who knew the country was safe from pursuit. As one man cheerfully confided ..., ‘A boat don’t leave no trail, stranger.’”
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
