Swan Princess

Famous quotes containing the words swan and/or princess:

    But all is changed, that high horse riderless,
    Though mounted in that saddle Homer rode
    Where the swan drifts upon a darkening flood.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    He is blowing on light
    each time for the first time.
    His fingers cover the mouths of all the sopranos,
    each a princess in an exact position.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
