Long Sword

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or sword:

“and wove seven strings,
Sweet with all music, out of his long hair,
Because her hands had been made wild by love.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“He who the sword of heaven will bear
Should be as holy as severe;
Pattern in himself to know,
Grace to stand, and virtue go;
More nor less to others paying
Than by self-offenses weighing.
Shame to him whose cruel striking
Kills for faults of his own liking!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
