Powder

Famous quotes containing the word powder:

    dust and powder fill our lungs
    our bodies blunder
    through doors twisted on hinges.

    ‘Bout town with powder and blue dye
    On her pale lids....

    And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
    Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;
