Perfectly Black Body

Famous quotes containing the words perfectly, black and/or body:

    Though of erect nature, man is far above the plants. For man’s superior part, his head, is turned toward the superior part of the world, and his inferior part is turned toward the inferior world; and therefore he is perfectly disposed as to the general situation of his body. Plants have the superior part turned towards the lower world, since their roots correspond to the mouth, and their inferior parts towards the upper world.
    Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    I could see the thing
    with its black head
    but there wasn’t a tear left
    and the scar of my wound
    was hard.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    ...we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
    Bible: New Testament, 2 Corinthians 5:8.
