Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or black:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I could see the thing
with its black head
but there wasn’t a tear left
and the scar of my wound
was hard.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
