Black Hawk County

Famous quotes containing the words black, hawk and/or county:

    O God, oh! of thine only worthy blood,
    And my tears, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
    And drown in it my sins’ black memory.
    That thou remember them, some claim as debt;
    I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
    Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
    Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    In the county there are thirty-seven churches
    and no butcher shop. This could be taken
    as a matter of all form and no content.
    Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
