Black Basses

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or basses:

    “There with vast wings across the canceled skies,
    There in the sudden blackness the black pall
    Of nothing, nothing, nothing—nothing at all.”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “Of a green evening, clear and warm,
    She bathed in her still garden, while
    The red-eyed elders watching, felt

    The basses of their beings throb
    In witching chords, and their thin blood
    Pulse pizzicati of Hosanna.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
