Lady Sings

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or sings:

    A lady with soft eyes like funeral tapers,
    And face that seemed wrought out of moonlit vapours,
    And a sad mouth, that fear made tremulous
    As any ruddy moth, looked down on us;
    And she with a wave-rusted chain was tied
    To two old eagles, full of ancient pride....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    She sings of a sword so white,
    so luminous, that its own light
    alone must slay;
    she sings of a sword, a sword, a sword,
    and I creep away.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
