Red Fleet

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or fleet:

    Thou art not fair, for all thy red and white,
    For all those rosy ornaments in thee.
    Thou art not sweet, though made of mere delight
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    On the middle of that quiet floor
    sits a fleet of small black ships,
    square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
    their spars like burned matchsticks.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
