Famous quotes containing the words white and/or swan:

    Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
    Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
    And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
    Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
    To labour and love though they lay down long ago.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Love that had robbed us of immortal things,
    This little moment mercifully gave,
    Where I have seen across the twilight wave
    The swan sail with her young beneath her wings.
    George Meredith (1828–1909)
