Sword Dancers

Famous quotes containing the words sword and/or dancers:

    Once the good man was dead, one wore his hat and another his sword as he had worn them, a third had himself barbered as he had, a fourth walked as he did, but the honest man that he was—nobody any longer wanted to be that.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    So the Platonic Year
    Whirls out new right and wrong,
    Whirls in the old instead;
    All men are dancers and their tread
    Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
