Famous quotes containing the words black and/or slaves:
“We lay long in the immense tide
Of shade and shadowy desire
And saw the dusk assail the wall,
The black surge, mounting, crash the stone!
Companion of this lust, we fall,
I said lest we should die alone.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don’t turn against him, they crush those beneath them.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
