Black Camelot

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or camelot:

“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)

“Ask every person if he’s heard the story,
And tell it strong and clear if he has not,
That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory
Called Camelot ...
Don’t let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known
As Camelot.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
