Maiden Voyage April

Famous quotes containing the words maiden, voyage and/or april:

“Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here’s to the widow of fifty;
Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
Let the toast pass,—
Drink to the lass,
I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

the sweet small clumsy feet of April came

into the ragged meadow of my soul.”
