Black Beard

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beard:

“How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

“His tears run down his beard like winter’s drops
From eaves of reeds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
