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)

    “And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows
    In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs
    Before the children green and golden
    Follow him out of grace.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
