Early Blight

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or blight:

“It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
—Gerald Early (20th century)

“It is the blight man was born for,”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
