Black Kites

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or kites:

    “why
    Do our black faces search the empty sky?

    We have lost, wandering in strange lands?”

    That got the Captain finally on his back
    And took the red red vitals of his heart
    And made the kites to whet their beaks clack clack.”
