Famous quotes containing the words blue, king and/or brown:
“There were ghosts that returned to earth to hear his phrases,
As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae.
They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.
There were those that returned to hear him read from the poem of life,
Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them.
They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I think the King is but a man, as I am. The violet smells to
him as it doth to me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“You sang:
Me an’ muh baby gonna shine, shine
Me an’ muh baby gonna shine.
The strong men keep a-comin’ on
The strong men git stronger . . .”
—Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)
