Colored Stones Include

Famous quotes containing the words colored, stones and/or include:

    Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    our philosophy
    Which stops, as cold and bare
    As headless hair,
    As lifeless as your bones,
    Obtuse as meadow stones ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    At last now you can be
    What the old cannot recall
    And the young long for in dreams,
    Yet still include them all.
    Elizabeth Jennings (b. 1926)
