Dark Helmet

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or helmet:

    “ethereal, their mauve
    almost a transparent gray,
    their dark veins
    bruise-blue.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “She left the web, she left the loom,
    She made three paces through the room,
    She saw the water-lily bloom,
    She saw the helmet and the plume,
    She looked down to Camelot.
    Out flew the web and floated wide;
    The mirror cracked from side to side;
    “The curse is come upon me,” cried
    The Lady of Shalott.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
