Black Canary Wedding

Famous quotes containing the words black, canary and/or wedding:

    Cruelty is a mystery, and the waste of pain. But if we describe a word to compass these things, a world that is a long, brute game, then we bump against another mystery: the inrush of power and delight, the canary that sings on the skull.
    Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    Reunion after long separation is even better than one’s wedding night.
