Famous quotes containing the words black, blade, exiled and/or characters:

    ... the whole day to live through,

    this lightness
    not to die, not die....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I would not knock old fellows in the dust
    But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
    His weapons were the old heart in his bust
    And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Whilst shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart; nor will moderation be utterly exiled from the minds of tyrants.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
