Small Black Powder

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

    “the small town big shot who, although very short,
    who although with a cigarette-stained mustache,
    who although famous for lobster on the rocks,
    left me here, nubkin, sucking in my vodka
    and emphysema cigarettes, unable to walk
    your walks, unable to write your writes.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Besides black art, there is only automation and mechanization.”
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    “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)
