Black Armour

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or armour:

    I myself saw furious with blood
    Neoptolemus, at his side the black Atridae,
    Hecuba and the hundred daughters, Priam
    Cut down, his filth drenching the holy fires.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
