Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or taylor:

    The shadow of a mighty Negro past flits through the tale of Ethiopia the shadowy and of the Egypt the Sphinx. Throughout history, the powers of single blacks flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    One sorry fret,
    An anvill Sparke, rose higher,
    And in thy Temple falling, almost set
    The house on fire.
    Such fireballs dropping in the Temple Flame
    Burns up the building: Lord, forbid the same.
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
