Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    Let me live in my house by the side of the road—
    It’s here the race of men go by.
    They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong
    Wise, foolish—so am I;
    Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)

    Ye say they all have passed away,
    That noble race and brave;
    That their light canoes have vanished
    From off the crested wave;
    That, mid the forests where they roamed,
    There rings no hunters’ shout;
    But their name is on your waters,
    Ye may not wash it out.
    Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

    The whole race is a poet that writes down
    The eccentric propositions of its fate.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
