Famous quotes containing the words night, attack and/or version:
“The night was thick and hazy
When the Piccadilly Daisy
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed em;
For they never, never found em,
And I know they didnt come ashore with me.”

“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
