Color Flash

Famous quotes containing the words color and/or flash:

    ‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
    Taught my benighted soul to understand
    That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
    Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
    Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
    “Their color is a diabolic die.”
    Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
    May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.
    Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)

    I think that in the swift white mind’s brain
    Neurons flash images of a world
    Undead and deathless, burgeoning again.
    I think that Spring will come this way, unfurled.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
