Cloak/metaphor

Famous quotes containing the words cloak and/or metaphor:

    Hidden by old age awhile
    In masker’s cloak and hood,
    Each hating what the other loved,
    Face to face we stood:
    “That I have met with such,” said he,
    “Bodes me little good.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
