Black Kites

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or kites:

    The monotonous dead clog me up and there is only
    black done in black that oozes from the strongbox.
    I must disembowel it and then set the heart, the legs,
    of two who were one upon a large woodpile
    and ignite, as I was once ignited, and let it whirl
    into flame....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The curse of hell upon the sleek upstart
    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.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
