Sail Set

Famous quotes containing the words sail and/or set:

    It was a poetic recreation to watch those distant sails steering for half-fabulous ports, whose very names are a mysterious music to our ears.... It is remarkable that men do not sail the sea with more expectation. Nothing was ever accomplished in a prosaic mood.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They smote and fell, who set the bars
    Against the progress of the stars,
    And stayed the march of Motherland!
    Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)
