Edward Shelley

Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or shelley:

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    . . . A widow bird sat mourning for her love
    Upon a wintry bough;
    The frozen wind crept on above,
    The freezing stream below.
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
