Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sword:
“I cut my teeth as the black raccoon—
For implements of battle.”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
“March indefatigably on,
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.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
