Vessel Failure

Famous quotes containing the words vessel and/or failure:

“Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
That frequently happens in tropical climes
When a vessel is, so to speak, “snarked.””

“Sitting by a lamp more often brings
Not peace, but other things.
Beyond the light stand failure and remorse....”
