Black Beans

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beans:

    “Don’t look now, God, we’re all right.
    All the suicides are eating Black Bean Soup;
    the Dalmatians, our turnip, our spotted parasite
    snoozles in her chair.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “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)
