Black Corded Silk

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or silk:

    Let the Brazos
    Freeze solid! And the Wabash turn to a leaden

    Is freezing slowly in the blasts. The black Yonne
    Congeals nicely.

    Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
    She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
    And she is dying piecemeal
    of a sort of emotional anemia.
