Original Captain

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or captain:

    The echo is, to some extent, an original sound, and therein is the magic and charm of it. It is not merely a repetition of what was worth repeating in the bell, but partly the voice of the wood; the same trivial words and notes sung by a wood-nymph.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    John Gilpin was a citizen
    Of credit and renown,
    A train-band captain eke was he
    Of famous London town.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
