Black Halo

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or halo:

    On the middle of that quiet floor
    sits a fleet of small black ships,
    square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
    their spars like burned matchsticks.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    There is a touch of divinity even in brutes, and a special halo about a horse, that should forever exempt him from indignities.
