Dis

Famous quotes containing the word dis:

“I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land, and my home after all was down in de old cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also; I would make a home for dem in de North, and de Lord helping me, I would bring dem all dere.”
—Harriet Tubman (c. 1820–1913)

“I hate to see de evenin’ sun go down,
Hate to see de evenin’ sun go down,
‘Cause ma baby, he done lef’ dis town.”
—W.C. Handy (1873–1958)
