Famous quotes containing the words world and/or title:
“The world rolls round,mistrust it not,
Befalls again what once befell;
All things return, both sphere and mote,
And I shall hear my bluebirds note,
And dream the dream of Auburn dell.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Down the road, on the right hand, on Bristers Hill, lived Brister Freeman, a handy Negro, slave of Squire Cummings once.... Not long since I read his epitaph in the old Lincoln burying-ground, a little on one side, near the unmarked graves of some British grenadiers who fell in the retreat from Concord,where he is styled Sippio Brister,MScipio Africanus he had some title to be called,a man of color, as if he were discolored.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
