Small Black Powder

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

“It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night!”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“We are powerless,
dust and powder fill our lungs
our bodies blunder
through doors twisted on hinges.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
