White Persons Born

Famous quotes containing the words white, persons and/or born:

    His white head hung out like a carpet bag
    and his crotch turned blue as a blood blister,

    put a finger on his back
    for the big blackout,
    the big no.

    I, being born a woman and distressed
    By all the needs and notions of my kind,
    Am urged by your propinquity to find
    Your person fair, and feel a certain zest
    To bear your body’s weight upon my breast:
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
