Black God

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or god:

    Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
    The entire combustible world in one small room
    As though dried straw, and if we turn about
    The bare chimney is gone black out
    Because the work had finished in that flare.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The god of this great vast, rebuke these surges,
    Which wash both heaven and hell; and thou that hast
    Upon the winds command, bind them in brass,
    Having called them from the deep! O, still
    Thy deaf’ning dreadful thunders, gently quench
    Thy nimble sulphurous flashes!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
