Famous quotes containing the words afro and/or blue:

    “Quadroon mermaids, Afro angels, black saints
    balanced upon the switchblades of that air
    and sang.”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    ““... Can poet’s thought
    That springs from body and in body falls
    Like this pure jet, now lost amid blue sky,
    Now bathing lily leaf and fish’s scale,
    Be mimicry?””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
