Famous quotes containing the words cutting and/or sword:
“The cutting of heads is become so much a la mode, that one is apt to feel of a morning whether their own is on their shoulders.”

“I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
A glittering sword out of the east.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
