Aye, you white dog, you are like all your race; but to a black man gold can never pay for blood.

The Scarlet Citadel (1933)

A long bow and a strong bow, and let the sky grow dark!
The cord to the nock, the shaft to the ear, and the king of Koth for a mark!

The Scarlet Citadel (1933)

"...Free my hands and I'll varnish this floor with your brains!"

The Scarlet Citadel (1933)

Gleaming shell of an outworn lie; fable of Right divine—
You gained your crowns by heritage, but Blood was the price of mine.
The throne that I won by blood and sweat , by Crom, I will not sell
For promise of valleys filled with gold, or threat of the Halls of Hell!

The Scarlet Citadel (1933)
