Sail Set

Famous quotes containing the words sail and/or set:

    Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
    Sail on, O Union, strong and great!

    With all the hopes of future years,
    Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    I never can hear a crowd of people singing and gesticulating, all together, at an Italian opera, without fancying myself at Athens, listening to that particular tragedy, by Sophocles, in which he introduces a full chorus of turkeys, who set about bewailing the death of Meleager.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
