Black Ravens

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or ravens:

    “If there is a man white as marble
    Sits in a wood, in the greenest part,
    Brooding sounds of the images of death,
    So there is a man in black space
    Sits in nothing that we know,
    Brooding sounds of river noises....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “There, through the broken branches, go
    The ravens of unresting thought;
    Flying, crying, to and fro,
    Cruel claw and hungry throat,
    Or else they stand and sniff the wind....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
