Famous quotes containing the words stephens and/or sought:

“The long, rolling,
Steady-pouring,
Deep-trenched
Green billow:”
—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)
