Maiden Voyage April

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

    “Y’are the maiden posies,
    And so graced
    To be placed

    By-and-by
    Ye do lie,
    Poor girls, neglected.”

    “But where is laid the sailor John
    That so many lands had known,
    Quiet lands or unquiet seas
    Where the Indians trade or Japanese?
    He never found his rest ashore,
    Moping for one voyage more.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “No April can revive thy withered flowers,
    Whose blooming grace adorns thy glory now;
    Swift speeding Time, feathered with flying hours,
    Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
    Oh let not then such riches waste in vain,
    But love whilst that thou mayst be loved again.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
