Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “In night when colours all to black are cast,
    Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
    The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
    Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
    Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
