Large Planters

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or planters:

“I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.”

“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)
