Black Boxes

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or boxes:

    “If there is a man white as marble
    Sits in a wood, in the greenest part,
    Brooding sounds of the images of death,
    So there is a man in black space
    Sits in nothing that we know,
    Brooding sounds of river noises....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
