Long Swords

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or swords:

    The grapes
    that need frost to ripen them
    are amber and grow deep in the
    hedge, half-concealed,
    the way your beauty grows in long tendrils
    half in darkness.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    When men change swords for ledgers, and desert
    The student’s bower for gold, some fears unnamed
    I had, my Country—am I to be blamed?
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
