Small Black Powder

Famous quotes containing the words small, black and/or powder:

    no little brass rollers
    and small easy wheels on the bottom—
    my townspeople what are you thinking of!
    A rough plain hearse then
    with gilt wheels and no top at all.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    So I won’t hang around in my hospital shift,
    repeating The Black Mass and all of it.
    I say Live, Live because of the sun,
    the dream, the excitable gift.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
    And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
    Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
