HMS Black Swan

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or swan:

“Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.”

“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.”
