The Mirror and the Sword Quotes

“Let me tell you what it is I believe in so that we better understand each other. I believe in a man thinking for himself and being his own master. I believe in going where I want to go, and doing what I want to do, being as fee as the wind. No limits, no obligations, and no laws. There may or may not be a path, but it makes no difference to me because I'm sure that, by whatever means, we'll reach that kingdom and I'll be paid.”

Golden and warming over smiles divine,
Now comes the moonlight glowing with care,
Making soft grasses like silvery hairs,
All through the valley in slumber serine,
All little people dance happy in dreams,
Close your eyes now, let sleep come,
Just 'til tomorrow when we wake to the sun.”

Leaves are red yet leaves are green,
