Black African

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or african:

    The flies swarmed on the putrid vulva, then
    A black tumbling rout would seethe
    Of maggots, thick like a torrent in a glen....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A tanned skin is something more than respectable, and perhaps olive is a fitter color than white for a man,—a denizen of the woods. “The pale white man!” I do not wonder that the African pitied him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
