Famous quotes containing the words black and/or lodge:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“I would in rich and golden coloured raine,
With tempting showers in pleasant sort discend,”
—Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)
