Famous quotes containing the words master and/or sword:
“A master of men was the Goodly Fere,
A mate of the wind and sea,
If they think they ha’ slain our Goodly Fere
They are fools eternally.
I ha’ seen him eat o’ the honey-comb
Sin’ they nailed him to the tree.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

And the soul wears out the breast.
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.”
