Port Elizabeth Harbour

Famous quotes containing the words port, elizabeth and/or harbour:

    O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
    The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
    The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
    While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
    But O heart! heart! heart!
    O the bleeding drops of red,
    Where on the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    A sumptuous dwelling the rich man hath.
    And dainty is his repast;
    But remember that luxury’s prodigal hand
    Keeps the furnace of toil in blast.
    —Mary Elizabeth Hewitt (b.1818)

    Patience, the beggar’s virtue, Shall find no harbour here.
    Philip Massinger (1583–1640)
