Royal Blue Pointed

Famous quotes containing the words royal, blue and/or pointed:

    “Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
    —Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    ““... Can poet’s thought
    That springs from body and in body falls
    Like this pure jet, now lost amid blue sky,
    Now bathing lily leaf and fish’s scale,
    Be mimicry?””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Punctually at Christmas the soft plush
    Of sentiment snows down, embosoms all
    The sharp and pointed shapes of venom,”
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
