    “Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
    Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,

    Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
    It be as short as yours.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “Shatter the icons of slavery and fear.
    Replace
    the leer
    of the minstrel’s burnt-cork face
    with a proud, serene
    and classic bronze of Benin.”
    —Dudley Randall (b. 1914)

    “The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
