Harveysburg Free Black

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or black:

    “In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Rain falls for centuries
    Soaking the loose rocks in space
    Sweet rain, the fire’s out
    The black snag glistens in the rain
    & the last wisp of smoke floats up”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
