Ship Island

Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or island:

    But we must build our walls, for what we are
    Necessitates it, and we must construct
    The ship to navigate behind them, there.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
