Famous quotes containing the words sweep and/or oars:
“Haste me to know it, that I with wings as swift
As meditation, or the thoughts of love,
May sweep to my revenge.”

And rowed him softer home—
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam—
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon
Leap, plashless as they swim.”
