Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or naming:

    “Every day brings a ship,
    Every ship brings a word;
    Well for those who have no fear,
    Looking seaward well assured
    That the word the vessel brings
    Is the word they wish to hear.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The night is itself sleep
    And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
    Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
