Single Ship

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or ship:

    “You have beheld a smiling Rose
    When Virgins hands have drawn
    O’r it a Cobweb-Lawne:
    And here, you see, this Lilly shows,
    Tomb’d in a Christal stone,
    More faire in this transparent case,
    Than when it grew alone;
    And had but single grace.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “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)
