Famous quotes containing the words black and/or rider:

    “Here’s neither bush nor shrub to bear off any weather at all. And another storm brewing, I hear it sing i’ the wind. Yond same black cloud, yond huge one, looks like a foul bombard that would shed his liquor. If it should thunder as it did before, I know not where to hide my head. Yond same cloud cannot choose but fall by pailfuls.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The sun that leaps on petals through a nought,
    The come a-cropper rider of the flower.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
