Classic Race

Famous quotes containing the words classic and/or race:

“For years, they have all been dying
Out, the classic buck-and-wing men”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
whispered—down in hell”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
