Famous quotes containing the words sunken, enemy and/or vessels:

    “Turn your eyes to the immoderate past,
    Turn to the inscrutable infantry rising
    Demons out of the earth—they will not last.
    Stonewall, Stonewall, and the sunken fields of hemp,
    Shiloh, Antietam, Malvern Hill, Bull Run.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.”
    —Jean De La Fontaine (1621–1695)

    “So near along life’s stream are the fountains of innocence and youth making fertile its sandy margin; and the voyageur will do well to replenish his vessels often at these uncontaminated sources.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
