Pale Skin

Famous quotes containing the words pale and/or skin:

“Great is the art,
Great be the manners, of the bard.
He shall not his brain encumber
With the coil of rhythm and number;
But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.
“Pass in, pass in,” the angels say,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

His cross upon my back;
He only seeks to place it there
Because my skin is black.””
