Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “Thus Winter falls,
    A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
    Through Nature shedding influence malign,
    And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
    The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
    And black with more than melancholy views.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
    What hours, O what black hours we have spent
    This night!”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “Rain falls for centuries
    Soaking the loose rocks in space
    Sweet rain, the fire’s out
    The black snag glistens in the rain
    & the last wisp of smoke floats up”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
