Quarter Deck

Famous quotes containing the words quarter and/or deck:

    In the haunted house no quarter is given: in that respect
    It’s very much business as usual. The reductive principle
    Is no longer there, or isn’t enforced as much as before.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I sang as one
    Who on a tilting deck sings
    To keep men’s courage up, though the wake hangs
    That shall cut off their sun.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
