A woman's shriek assaults the ear

While above, in the sky, inured to everything,

The moon looks on with a mindless leer

Knees, but they evaporated as the boat picked
Oars Quotes : pic 000525645
They came like specters from the dark maw of the bayou, first ghostly light in the fog, then the rasp of a motor: an aluminum powerboat scudding across lacquer-black water.
Oars Quotes : pic 000408751

My word was law from Ith to Emain,
And shook at Invar Amargin
The hearts of the world-troubling seamen,
And drove tumult and war away ...

Beneath the heavy bill their treasured pouch
Fishes pray for them to fly far away
Inland lakes toast to the Pelican's day

Oars Quotes : pic 000201231

Maybes are anchors you chain to your own feet. Right before you leap off the boat into the ocean.
Oars Quotes : pic 000648385
Physically, rowing was remarkable resistant to the camera ... the camera liked power exhibited more openly, and the power of the oarsmen [is] exhibited in far too controlled a setting. Besides, the camera liked to focus on individuals, and except for the single scull, crew was sport without faces.

O wandering graves! O restless sleep!
O silence of the sunless day!
O still ravine! O stormy deep!
Give up your prey! Give up your prey!

Oars Quotes : pic 000820840
What is more beautiful than a sea of water with a number of white-winged boats skirting its surface? Poetry and beauty contesting with the wind and the waves!

The gondola of London [a hansom].
Oars Quotes : pic 000105924
A ship, an isle, a sickle moon With few but with how splendid stars The mirrors of the sea are strewn Between their silver bars!
Oars Quotes : pic 001596761
We're going to need a bigger boat.
Oars Quotes : pic 001713429
