Dark King

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or king:

    “The elaborate star-light throws a reflection
    On the dark stream,
    Till all the eddies gleam;
    And thereupon there comes that scream
    From terrified, invisible beast or bird:
    Image of poignant recollection.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Those banners come to bribe or threaten
    Or whisper that a man’s a fool
    Who when his own right king’s forgotten
    Cares what king sets up his rule.
    If he died long ago
    Why do you dread us so?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
