South Clifton

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or clifton:

    The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    Poetry is a matter of life, not just a matter of language.
    —Lucille Clifton (b. 1936)
