“Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?

Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usnas children died.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than Commissioned 1940. Sank 1941. Engagements, none. Shots fired, none. Now you cant let her go that way. Thats like a beautiful woman dying an old maid.”
—Stanley Shapiro (19251990)
“Have we even so much as discovered and settled the shores? Let a man travel on foot along the coast ... and tell me if it looks like a discovered and settled country, and not rather, for the most part, like a desolate island, and No-Mans Land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
