Mass Black

Famous quotes containing the words mass and/or black:

“No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In the black of desire
we rock and grunt, grunt and
shine”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
