Famous quotes containing the words black and/or powder:
“The monotonous dead clog me up and there is only
black done in black that oozes from the strongbox.
I must disembowel it and then set the heart, the legs,
of two who were one upon a large woodpile
and ignite, as I was once ignited, and let it whirl
into flame....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“My little ‘bout-town gal has gone
‘Bout town with powder and blue dye
On her pale lids....”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
