Black Objects

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or objects:

“The shadow of the Venetian blind on the painted wall,
Shadows of the snake-plant and cacti, the plaster animals,
Focus the tragic melancholy of the bright stare
Into nowhere, a hole like the black holes in space.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“We are thus assisted by natural objects in the expression of particular meanings. But how great a language to convey such pepper-corn informations!”
