Black Stuff Gown

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

    “Sometimes we see a cloud that’s dragonish,
    A vapor sometimes like a bear or lion,
    A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
    A forked mountain, or blue promontory
    With trees upon ‘t that nod unto the world
    And mock our eyes with air. Thou hast seen these signs;
    They are black vesper’s pageants.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And yon twelve-winded sky,
    The stuff of life to knit me
    Blew hither: here am I.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    “Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.”
