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)
“But beauty is set apart,
beauty is cast by the sea,
a barren rock,
beauty is set about
with wrecks of ships....”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
