Black Writers

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or writers:

    Chastity prays for me, piety sings,
    Innocence sweetens my last black breath,
    Modesty hides my thighs in her wings,
    And all the deadly virtues plague my death!
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
