Famous quotes containing the words port and/or number:
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guards cutlass and silvers this nook;
But twill die in the dawning of Billys last day.
A jewel-block theyll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly
O, tis me, not the sentence theyll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“I wonder love can have already set
In dreams, when weve not met
More times than I can number on one hand.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
