“Buonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port; but know he finds, I fancy, if Emperors hear the truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year.” IfsKnowsYearsMadeWould BeNightSufferingOrderSeaFancyStayingWornBoastEmperorPortWorn OutHoratio Author:Horatio Nelson

“Kent. Where's the king? Gent. Contending with the fretful elements; Bids the wind blow the earth into the sea, Or swell the curled waters 'bove the main, That things might change or cease; tears his white hair, Which the impetuous blasts, with eyeless rage, Catch in their fury and make nothing of; Strives in his little world of man to outscorn The to-and-fro-conflicting wind and rain. This night, wherein the cub-drawn bear would couch, The lion and the belly-pinched wolf Keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, And bids what will take all.” MenWorldLittlesMightRunningEarthNightWaterWhiteSeaTearsWindHairBearsKingsElementsRainStriveBlowRageCeaseDryLionsStrifeBellyFuryCouchesBlastFurCubsKentContendingWhite HairWind And RainImpetuousGents Book:The plays of William Shakespeare Source: The plays of William Shakespeare
“One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.” YearsI CanSometimesMomentsRememberNightSoundVoiceSleepSeaSixTownsCornersTwelve Author:Dylan Thomas
“If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea. One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. My name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved. Now those words mean only what their letters spell out; Star in the night sky. Truth in the darkness. I have crossed over to a place where I never thought I'd be. I am someone I would have never imagined. A secret. A dream. I am this, body and soul. Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.” IfsLooksMeanLittlesStillsSoulDreamBodyFacesLife IsLyingNightNamesStarsSecretWonderDarknessSeaSkyOne DayDaughterRiversLettersWho I AmFamiliarBelovedSpellsNight SkyStars In The Night Sky Author:Alice Hoffman
