Small Black Powder

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

    A little quaker, the whole body of him trembling,
    His absurd whiskers sticking out like a cartoon-mouse,

    Little lizard-feet,
    Whitish and spread wide when he tried to struggle away,
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
