Famous quotes containing the words black and/or magic:
“Don’t look now, God, we’re all right.
All the suicides are eating Black Bean Soup;
the Dalmatians, our turnip, our spotted parasite
snoozles in her chair.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
And travelling often in the cut he makes,
Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
And all their botany is Latin names.
The old men studied magic in the flowers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
