Black Hawk County

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

    Thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail,
    A swollen magpie in a fitful sun,
    Half black half white
    Nor knowst’ou wing from tail
    Pull down thy vanity
    How mean thy hates
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    He will not go,
    But wait through fish scale, shale dust, bone
    of hawk and marmot,
    caught leaves in ice,
    Til flung on a new net of atoms:
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    But I would say to my fellows, once for all, As long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
