True Black

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or black:

“My dream thou brok’st not, but continued’st it.
Thou art so true that thoughts of thee suffice
To make dreams truths and fables histories;
Enter these arms, for since thou thought’st it best
Not to dream all my dream, let’s act the rest.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“Quadroon mermaids, Afro angels, black saints
balanced upon the switchblades of that air
and sang.”
