Southern Continent

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or continent:

“My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black, but O! my soul is white;”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
