Black Corinth

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or corinth:

    The solid and well-defined fir-tops, like sharp and regular spearheads, black against the sky, gave a peculiar, dark, and sombre look to the forest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    War wreaked on you his hideous ravishment;
    We, we alone, Nereids inviolate,
    Remain to weep, with the sea-birds to chant:
    Corinth is lost, Corinth is desolate.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
