Black Face

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or face:

“The body is no body to be seen
But is an eye that studies its black lid.”

“His awful skin
stretched out by some tradesman
is like my skin, here between my fingers,
a kind of webbing, a kind of frog.
Surely when first born my face was this tiny
and before I was born surely I could fly.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
