Black Canyon City

Famous quotes containing the words black, canyon and/or city:

    why
    Do our black faces search the empty sky?

    We have lost, wandering in strange lands?

    In a world that holds books and babies and canyon trails, why should one condemn oneself to live day-in, day-out with people one does not like, and sell oneself to chaperone and correct them?
