Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or port:
“When the rock was hid by the surges swell,
The mariners heard the warning bell,
And then they knew the perilous rock,
And blessd the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”

“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weatherd 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 (18191892)
