Famous quotes containing the words color and/or names:
“But whenever the roof came white
The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”

to try my own guitar, to copy out
their two separate names like sunflowers, to conjure
up my daily bread, to endure,
somehow to endure.”
