Famous quotes containing the words black and/or bear:
“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and mens affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
“Out then spak her father dear,
And he spak meek and mild,

If that I gae wi child, father,
Mysel maun bear the blame;
Theres neer a laird about your ha,
Shall get the bairns name.”
—Unknown. Tam Lin (l. 5360)
