More From George Herbert

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

Iron and coal dominated everywhere, from grey to black: the black boots, the black stove-pipe hat, the black coach or carriage, the black iron frame of the hearth, the black cooking pots and pans and stoves. was it a mourning? was it protective coloration? was it mere depression of the senses? no matter what the original color of the paleotechnic milieu might be it was soon reduced by reason of the soot and cinders that accompanied its activities, to its characteristic tones, grey, dirty-brown, black.

I was thinking the first thing we should do is expelliarmus, you know, the disarming charm. i know it's pretty basic but i've found it really useful -" "oh please," said zacharias smith, rolling his eyes and folding his arms. "i don't think expelliarmus is exactly going to help us against you-know-who, do you?" "i've used it against him," said harry quietly. "it saved my life last june." smith opened his mouth stupidly. the rest of the room was very quiet. "but if you think it's beneath you, you can leave.
