Pitch Black

Famous quotes containing the words pitch and/or black:

“Though I have locked my gate on them
I pity all the young,
I know what devil’s trade they learn
From those they live among,
Their drink, their pitch and toss by day,
Their robbery by night....”

“I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night!”
