Campbell Black

Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or black:

    ‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
    And robes the mountain in its azure hue.
    —Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)

    Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
