Famous quotes containing the words black and/or beard:
“In night when colours all to black are cast,
Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
The eyea watch to inward senses placed,
Not seeing, yet still having power of sight
Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
—Fulke Greville (15541628)
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
