Dark Blue Base

Famous quotes containing the words dark, blue and/or base:

    This girl borrowed no dim light of a star
    Nor ever night held her in a dark mesh,
    A slim bloom she stood of the first larkspur,
    A wind of spring fluttered in her white flesh.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Dear Friend,
    the canebrakes
    nestled in the riverbank’s lap,
    their clusters broken
    from the weight of blue bees,
    have in time
    become stumps.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The worst of my actions or conditions seem not so ugly unto me as I find it both ugly and base not to dare to avouch for them.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
