Pale Skin

Famous quotes containing the words pale and/or skin:

“who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Papooses crying on the wind’s long mane
Screamed red skin dynasties that fled the brain,”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
