Ground States

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or states:

    I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
    His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
    Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
    And vaulted with such ease into his seat
    As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
    To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
    And witch the world with noble horsemanship.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
