Black Bear

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or bear:

“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“You are come in very happy time
To bear my greeting to the senators
And tell them that I will not come today.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
