Famous quotes containing the words black and/or gown:
“I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
And brought Olympian wisdom down
To court and mar, to gown and town,
Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
The open secret of to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
