Rough Seas

Famous quotes containing the words rough and/or seas:

    Not once or twice in our rough island-story
    The path of booty was the way to glory.
    Anonymous.

    In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
    On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor’d near the shore,
    An old, dismasted, gray and batter’d ship, disabled, done,
    After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul’d up at last and
    hawser’d tight,
    Lies rusting, mouldering.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
