Famous quotes containing the words tall and/or blacks:
“Far in the forest, dim and old,
For her may some tall vault unfold—”

“The shadow of a mighty Negro past flits through the tale of Ethiopia the shadowy and of the Egypt the Sphinx. Throughout history, the powers of single blacks flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness.”
