Black Stuff Gown

Famous quotes containing the words black, stuff and/or gown:

“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“The wise guys
tell me
that Christmas
is Kid Stuff . . .”
—Frank Horne (b. 1899)

“Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
