Famous quotes containing the words perfect, black and/or body:
“till disproportion’d sin
Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
In first obedience, and their state of good.”

My heart’s deep languor and my soul’s sad tears.’
Yet why evoke the spectres of black night
To blot the sunshine of exultant years?”

“Picture that orchard sprite,
Eve, with her body white,
Supple and smooth to her
Slim finger tips,”
