Black Basses

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or basses:

“Black one, black one,
there was a white
candle in your heart.”

“Of a green evening, clear and warm,
She bathed in her still garden, while
The red-eyed elders watching, felt

The basses of their beings throb
In witching chords, and their thin blood
Pulse pizzicati of Hosanna.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
