Bull Sable

Famous quotes containing the words bull and/or sable:

    “I was a fire-breathing Catholic C.O.,
    and made my manic statement,
    telling off the state and president, and then
    sat waiting sentence in the bull pen
    beside a Negro boy with curlicues
    of marijuana in his hair.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “My faith shall wax, when thou art in thy waning.
    The world shall find this miracle in me,
    That fire can burn when all the matter’s spent:
    Then what my faith hath been thyself shalt see,
    And that thou wast unkind thou may’st repent.—
    Thou may’st repent that thou hast scorn’d my tears,
    When Winter snows upon thy sable hairs.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
