Famous quotes containing the words south, pacific and/or command:
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)

That lay impounding the Pacific swell,
Patted his stove-pipe hat and tugged his shawl.”

“I, who should command a regiment,
Do amble amiably here, O God,
One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”
