Famous quotes containing the words sword and/or knots:
“I had not given a penny for a song
Did not the poet sing it with such airs
That one believed he had a sword upstairs;
Yet would be now, could I but have my wish,
Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Victory won’t come
to me unless I go
to it; a grape tendril
ties a knot in knots till
knotted thirty times,—”
