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)

    The dreariest spot in all the land
    To Death they set apart;
    With scanty grace from Nature’s hand,
    And none from that of Art.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
