Collins

Famous quotes containing the word collins:

“The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, ‘t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)

“And Truth, in sunny vest arrayed,
By whose the tarsel’s eyes were made;”
—William Collins (1721–1759)

“But com’st a decent maid,
In Attic robe array’d,
O chaste, unboastful nymph, to thee I call!”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
