Stephens Sought

Famous quotes containing the words stephens and/or sought:

“straightway like a bell
Came low and clear
The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas,”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

“‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their color is a diabolic die.”
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
—Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)
