Black Hellebore

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or hellebore:

    “In night when colours all to black are cast,
    Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
    The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
    Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
    Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    “I would rather take hellebore than spend a conversation with a good, little man.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
