Rave Dances

Famous quotes containing the words rave and/or dances:

“they alive, I dead beneath
That board—you’d rave and rend them with your teeth.”
—J.M. (John Millington)

“We have dancing ... from soon after sundown until a few minutes after nine o’clock.... Occasionally the boys who play the female partners in the dances exercise their ingenuity in dressing to look as girlish as possible. In the absence of lady duds they use leaves, and the leaf-clad beauties often look very pretty and always odd enough.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
