TONI MORRISON, SONG OF SOLOMON — Saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. ... Green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? Well, night black is the same way. May as well be a rainbow.
Saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. What kind of green? Green like my bottles? Green like a grasshopper? Green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before ir breaks loose to storm? Well, night black is the same way. May as well be a rainbow.
