Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beans:
“Soon,
Light from a small intense lopsided moon
Shows them, black as their shadows, sleeping so.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“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 (18171862)
