Black Victims

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or victims:

“The shadow of the Venetian blind on the painted wall,
Shadows of the snake-plant and cacti, the plaster animals,
Focus the tragic melancholy of the bright stare
Into nowhere, a hole like the black holes in space.”

“Alas! regardless of their doom
The little victims play;”
