Famous quotes containing the words cloak and/or metaphor:
“Hidden by old age awhile
In maskers 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 (18651939)
“A black boxers 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)
