Black Hellebore

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or hellebore:

    The token woman carries a bouquet of hothouse celery
    and a stenographer’s pad; she will take
    the minutes, perk the coffee, smile
    like a plastic daisy and put out
    the black cat of her sensuous anger
    to howl on the fence all night.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

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