Black Beard

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beard:

    My black sun, my
    Odessa sunflower,
    spurs of Tartar gold
    ring at your ankles,
    you stand taller before me than the ten
    towers of Jerusalem.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Woman’s success in lifting men out of their way of life nearly resembling that of the beasts—who merely hunted and fished for food, who found shelter where they could in jungles, in trees, and caves—was a civilizing triumph.
    —Mary Ritter Beard (1876–1958)
