Unmanned Reef Lights

Famous quotes containing the words reef and/or lights:

    As the bird trims her to the gale,
    I trim myself to the storm of time,
    I man the rudder, reef the sail,
    Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
    “Lowly faithful, banish fear,
    Right onward drive unharmed;
    The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
    And every wave is charmed.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    O would, beloved, that you lay
    Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
    While lights were paling one by one.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
