Famous quotes containing the words level and/or deck:
“Let still the woman take
An elder than herself. So wears she to him;
So sways she level in her husband’s heart.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
