Famous quotes containing the words double and/or descent:
“No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.”

““There is Hawthorne, with genius so shrinking and rare
That you hardly at first see the strength that is there;
A frame so robust, with a nature so sweet,
So earnest, so graceful, so lithe and so fleet,
Is worth a descent from Olympus to meet;”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
