“They trapped the Lion on Shamu’s plain;
They weighted his limbs with an iron chain;
They cried aloud in the trumpet-blast,
They cried, “The lion is caged at last!”
Woe to the Cities of river and plain
If ever the Lion stalks again! — Old Ballad.”

— The Scarlet Citadel (Robert E. Howard, Weird Tales)

““The ravens circle above our prows
And our chant is the song of the sea.
They hear our oars by a thousand shores
And they know that the North is free.””

“What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die dogs… I was a man before I was king.”

“My blessings! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed ‘Sword Women.’ It seems such a pity to leave her just at the threshold of higher adventures.Your favorite trick of slamming the door on a burst of bugles!And leaving one to wonder what happened next and wanting so badly to know.Aren’t there any more stories about Agnes?”

- C. L. Moore in a letter to Robert E. Howard regarding his character Dark Agnes, 01.29.35

She said “My blessings.” She actualfax said “My blessings.”

““There’s nothing we can’t conquer. We’ll have our feet on a ship’s deck before the Stygians open their ports for the trading season. And then we’ll show the world what plundering means!””
