Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or boat:

    “He never courted men in station
    Nor persons had in admiration;
    Of no man’s greatness was afraid,
    Because he sought for no man’s aid.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “Every time I get happy
    the Nana-hex comes through.
    Birds turn into plumber’s tools,
    a sonnet turns into a dirty joke,
    a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
    a boat turns into a corpse....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
