Famous quotes containing the words black and/or swan:

“I’m a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.”

“And of the swan in death these dreamers tell
of its last flight and how it falls, a plummet,
pierced by the freezing bullet
and how three feathers, loosened by the shot,
descend like snow upon it.”
