Dower Slaves

Famous quotes containing the words dower and/or slaves:

    At Sestos, Hero dwelt; Hero the faire,
    Whom young Apollo, courted for her haire,
    And offred as a dower his burning throne,
    Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    When I think of the gold-diggers and the Mormons, the slaves and the slave-holders and the flibustiers, I naturally dream of a glorious private life. No, I am not patriotic.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
