Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:
“Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
whispered—down in hell”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Victory comes late—
And is held low to freezing lips—
Too rapt with frost
To take it—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
