Black Griffin

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or griffin:

    When I from black and he from white cloud free,
    And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,

    I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
    To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
    And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
    And be like him, and he will then love me.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    ...This
    is the paradox of vision:
    Sharp perception softens
    our existence in the world.
    —Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
