Famous quotes containing the words large and/or planters:

    “I have forgiven all the old actors for dying.
    A new one comes on with the same lines,
    like large white growths, in his mouth.
    The dancers come on from the wings,
    perfectly mated.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The first day that we landed upon that fatal shore
    The planters they came round us full twenty score or more,
    They rank’d us up like horses, and sold us out of hand
    Then yok’d us unto ploughs, my boys, to plow Van
    Dieman’s Land.”
    —Unknown. Van Dieman’s Land (l. 9–12)
