Famous quotes containing the words gray and/or whale:

“Let not ambition mock their useful toil,
Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;
Nor grandeur hear with a disdainful smile,
The short and simple annals of the poor.”

A darkening shudder; water fell away;
The whale stood shining, and then sank in spray.”
