Famous quotes containing the words orient and/or ferry:
“Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
When June is past, the fading rose;
For in your beauty’s orient deep
These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.
Ask me no more whither do stray
The golden atoms of the day;
For in pure love heaven did prepare
Those powders to enrich your hair.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
““Ferry me across the water,
Do, boatman, do.”
“If you’ve a penny in your purse
I’ll ferry you.””
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
