Black Square

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or square:

“Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Mark you the floore? that square & speckled stone,
Which looks so firm and strong,
Is Patience:”
