Daughter Species

Famous quotes containing the words daughter and/or species:

    O staye, O staye, thou goodlye youthe,
    She standeth by thy side;

    And readye to be thy bride.

    The further our civilization advances upon its present lines so much the cheaper sort of thing does “fame” become, especially of the literary sort. This species of “fame” a waggish acquaintance says can be manufactured to order, and sometimes is so manufactured.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
