Turtle Ships

Famous quotes containing the words turtle and/or ships:

“I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

“A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.”
