Barnacle Boy

Famous quotes containing the words barnacle and/or boy:

    A barnacle goose
    Far up in the stretches of night; night splits and the dawn breaks loose;
    I, through the terrible novelty of light, stalk on, stalk on;
    Those great sea-horses bare their teeth and laugh at the dawn.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed
    Droops on the little hands, little gold head;
    Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
    Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
    —A.A. (Alan Alexander)
