Small Black Powder

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

“Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.”
—Aristotle (384 B.C.–322 B.C.)

“... the whole day to live through,
steadfast, deep, interior.

after the black of black,
this lightness
not to die, not die....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Despite my asbestos gloves,

and a red powder seeps through my veins....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
