Black Square

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or square:

“Thus Winter falls,
A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
Through Nature shedding influence malign,
And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
And black with more than melancholy views.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)

“This house was designed and constructed with the freedom of stroke of a forester’s axe, without other compass and square than Nature uses.”
