Master Sword

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or sword:

    Mine honesty and I begin to square.
    The loyalty well held to fools does make
    Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure
    To follow with allegiance a fall’n lord
    Does conquer him that did his master conquer
    And earns a place i’ the story.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
    A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
    Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
    That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
    A glittering sword out of the east.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
