Black Lantern

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or lantern:

    Here’s neither bush nor shrub to bear off any weather at all. And another storm brewing, I hear it sing i’ the wind. Yond same black cloud, yond huge one, looks like a foul bombard that would shed his liquor. If it should thunder as it did before, I know not where to hide my head. Yond same cloud cannot choose but fall by pailfuls.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... It may be Prester John’s balloon
    Or an old battered lantern hung aloft
    To light poor travellers to their distress.”
    She then: “How you digress!”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
