  1. A quotation from Byron

    Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean — roll!
       Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
       Man marks the earth with ruin — his control
       Stops with the shore.

    George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) English poet
    Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto 4, st. 179 (1818)
