Famous quotes containing the words giant, african and/or snails:
“Haze, char, and the weather of All Souls:
A giant absence mopes upon the trees:”

“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts. These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“little snails at the back
of the knee building bon-
fires ...”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
