Black Corinth

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or corinth:

    A little black thing among the snow
    Crying “’weep, ‘weep,” in notes of woe!

    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.
