Famous quotes containing the words cattle and/or owners:
“To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
The cattle huddled on the lea;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“When the passage “All men are born free and equal,” when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves?”
