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

    “in small war on the heels of small
    war—until the end of time
    to police the earth, a ghost
    orbiting forever lost
    in our monotonous sublime.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “... the whole day to live through,
    steadfast, deep, interior.
    After the death,
    after the black of black,
    this lightness
    not to die, not die....”
    —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)
