Black Beans

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beans:

    ... burned to tireless death
    A child of a few hours
    With its kneading mouth
    Charred on the black breast of the grave
    The mother dug, and its arms full of fires ...
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    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)
