HMS Black Swan

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or swan:

    I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    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.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
