Black Beans

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beans:

    “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)

    “When my hoe tinkled against the stones, that music echoed to the woods and the sky, and was an accompaniment to my labor which yielded an instant and immeasurable crop. It was no longer beans that I hoed, nor I that hoed beans; and I remembered with as much pity as pride, if I remembered at all, my acquaintances who had gone to the city to attend the oratorios.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
