Mw Power Barge

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or barge:

    How oft when men are at the point of death
    Have they been merry! which their keepers call
    A lightning before death: O, how may I
    Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
    Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
    Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
    Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
    Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
    And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We are afloat
    On our dreams as on a barge made of ice,
    Shot through with questions and fissures of starlight
    That keep us awake, thinking about the dreams
    As they are happening. Some occurrence. You said it.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
