Famous quotes containing the words afro and/or blue:

    “Quadroon mermaids, Afro angels, black saints
    balanced upon the switchblades of that air
    and sang.”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    “Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy clouds—the greyhounds of heaven.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
