Camel Race

Famous quotes containing the words camel and/or race:

    Alas, alas for Hamelin!
    There came into many a burgher’s pate
    A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
    Opes to the rich at as easy rate
    As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.
    Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
