Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “there’s a kind of lust feeds on itself
    Unspoken to, unspeaking; subterranean
    As a black river full of eyeless fish
    Heavy with spawn; with a passion for time
    Longer than the arteries of a cave.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “(The black stream, catching on a sunken rock,
    Flung backward on itself in one white wave,
    And the white water rode the black forever.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The solid and well-defined fir-tops, like sharp and regular spearheads, black against the sky, gave a peculiar, dark, and sombre look to the forest.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
