The Black Prince

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or prince:

    Light thickens, and the crow
    Makes wing to th’ rooky wood.
    Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,
    Whiles night’s black agents to their preys do rouse.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I will catch Christ with a greased worm,
    And when the Prince of Darkness stalks
    My bloodstream to its Stygian term . . .
    On water the Man-Fisher walks.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
