African Origin

Famous quotes containing the words african and/or origin:

“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts.

—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)

“All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”
