    This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
    o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with
    golden fire, why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    re-enact at the vestry-glass
    Each pulpit gesture in deft dumb-show
    That had moved the congregation so.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Upon Saint Crispin’s day
    Fought was this noble fray,
    Which fame did not delay
    To England to carry.
    On when shall Englishmen
    With such acts fill a pen,
    Or England breed again
    Such a King Harry?
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    White men have always controlled their wives’ wages. Colored men were not able to do so until they themselves became free. Then they owned both their wives and their wages.
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
