Famous quotes containing the words race and/or held:
“You sang far better than you knew; the songs
That for your listeners hungry hearts sufficed
Still live,but more than this to you belongs:
You sang a race from wood and stone to Christ.”
—James Weldon Johnson (18711938)

as if you had
a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad
its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye
and dragged me home alive. . . .”
