The Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    “I see the callus on his sole,
    The disappearing last of him
    And of his race starvation slim,
    Oh, years ago—ten thousand years.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “You sang far better than you knew; the songs
    That for your listeners’ hungry hearts sufficed
    Still live,—but more than this to you belongs:
    You sang a race from wood and stone to Christ.”
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
