Magnolia Bark

Famous quotes containing the words magnolia and/or bark:

    ... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    I taught myself to name my name,
    To bark back, loosen love and crying;
    To ease my woman so she came,
    To ease an old man who was dying.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
