Slave

Famous quotes containing the word slave:

“The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
Great nations blossom above,
A slave bows down to a slave.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

The very instant that I saw you, did
My heart fly to your service, there resides
To make me slave to it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
