Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or ferry:

    They dragged you from homeland,
    They chained you in coffles,
    They huddled you spoon-fashion in filthy hatches,
    They sold you to give a few gentlemen ease.
    —Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)

    This ferry was as busy as a beaver dam, and all the world seemed anxious to get across the Merrimack River at this particular point, waiting to get set over,—children with their two cents done up in paper, jail-birds broke lose and constable with warrant, travelers from distant lands to distant lands, men and women to whom the Merrimack River was a bar.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
