Black Bears Rarely

Famous quotes containing the words black, bears and/or rarely:

    By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
    Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
