Famous quotes containing the words dock and/or sill:

    You turn
    To speak to someone beside the dock and the lighthouse
    Shines like garnets. It has become a stricture.

    At the punch-bowl’s brink,
    Let the thirsty think,
    What they say in Japan:
    First the man takes a drink,
    Then the drink takes a drink,
    Then the drink takes the man!
    —Edward Rowland Sill (1841–1887)
