Famous quotes containing the words hill and/or race:

    O happy, happy each
    man whom predestined fate
    leads to the holy rite
    of hill and mountain worship.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Many times man lives and dies
    Betweeen his two eternities,
    That of race and that of soul,
    And ancient Ireland knew it all.
    Whether man die in his bed
    Or the rifle knocks him dead,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
