Point Du Sable

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or sable:

“The art of writing books is not yet invented. But it is at the point of being invented. Fragments of this nature are literary seeds. There may be many an infertile grain among them: nevertheless, if only some come up!”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

“Underneath this sable hearse
Lies the subject of all verse:
Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
Death ere thou has slain another,
Fair, and learned, and good as she,
Time shall throw a dart at thee.”
—William Browne (1591–1643)
