Small Black Powder

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

    What was thy cause?
    Adultery?
    Thou shalt not die. Die for adultery? No,
    The wren goes to’t, and the small gilded fly
    Does lecher in my sight.
    Let copulation thrive.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.

    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)
