Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or atlantic:
“If it were worth while to argue a paradox, one might maintain that nature regards the female as the essential, the male as the superfluity of her world. Perhaps the best starting-point for study of the Virgin would be a practical acquaintance with bees, and especially with queen bees.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
“Obscurest night involvd the sky,
Th Atlantic billows roard,
When such a destind wretch as I,
Washd headlong from on board,
Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
His floating home for ever left.”
—William Cowper (17311800)
