Black Cord

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or cord:

    “I could see the thing
    with its black head
    but there wasn’t a tear left
    and the scar of my wound
    was hard.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
