Black Painted

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or painted:

“We lay long in the immense tide
Of shade and shadowy desire
And saw the dusk assail the wall,
The black surge, mounting, crash the stone!
Companion of this lust, we fall,
I said lest we should die alone.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Maud Muller looked and sighed: “Ah me!
That I the Judge’s bride might be!

And praise and toast me at his wine.

“My father should wear a broadcloth coat,
My brother should sail a painted boat.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
