Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sword:
“Black one, black one,
there was a white
candle in your heart.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“So, we’ll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast.
And the heart must pause to breathe
And love itself have rest.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
