Famous quotes containing the words small, black and/or powder:
“In the small circle of pain within the skull
You still shall tramp and tread one endless round
Of thought, to justify your action to yourselves,
Weaving a fiction which unravels as you weave,
Pacing forever in the hell of make-believe
Which never is belief: this is your fate on earth
And we must think no further of you.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“There with vast wings across the canceled skies,
There in the sudden blackness the black pall
Of nothing, nothing, nothingnothing at all.”

“Uncle Bens brass bullet-mould
And powder horn, and Major Bogans face
Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
Theres naught to kill but the animated dead;”
