Silver Shark

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or shark:

    ‘Guess now who holds thee?’—‘Death,’ I said. But,
    there,
    The silver answer rang, . . . ‘Not Death, but Love.’
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    They will tell you tough stories of sharks all over the Cape, which I do not presume to doubt utterly,—how they will sometimes upset a boat, or tear it in pieces, to get at the man in it. I can easily believe in the undertow, but I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
