Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sword:
“By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!”

And for the last effect
Still keep thy Sword erect:
Besides the force it has to fright
The Spirits of the shady Night;
The same Arts that did gain
A Pow’r must it maintain.”
