Famous quotes containing the words black and/or powder:
“Magnified one thousand times, the insect
Looks farcically human; laugh if you will!
Bald head, stage-fairy wings, blear eyes,
A caved-in chest, hairy black mandibles,
Long spindly thighs.”

“My little ‘bout-town gal has gone

On her pale lids....”
