Black Letter Days is the first of two albums by Frank Black and the Catholics simultaneously released in 2002 (along with Devil's Workshop). The title implies the opposite of the term "Red Letter Days" which are holidays — a "black letter day" being all the ordinary days in a given month.

Famous quotes containing the words black, letter and/or days:
“there’s a kind of lust feeds on itself
Unspoken to, unspeaking; subterranean
As a black river full of eyeless fish
Heavy with spawn; with a passion for time
Longer than the arteries of a cave.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“A letter with it
discloses, in its words and between them,
a life opening, fearful, fearless,
thousand-eyed, a field
of sparks that move swiftly
in darkness....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
