Famous quotes containing the word black:

    “The monotonous dead clog me up and there is only
    black done in black that oozes from the strongbox.
    I must disembowel it and then set the heart, the legs,
    of two who were one upon a large woodpile
    and ignite, as I was once ignited, and let it whirl
    into flame....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
