Race Held

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:

“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

“And knew that nature could not more refine
What it had given in a looking-glass
And held there, after the living body’s line
Has moved wherever it must move ...”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
