White Man Sleeps

Famous quotes containing the words white, man and/or sleeps:

    He thought that I was after him for a feather—
    The white one in his tail; like one who takes
    Everything said as personal to himself.

    Is my team ploughing,
    That I was used to drive
    And hear the harness jingle
    When I was man alive?
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Oh! that’s in course—I do love him; why wouldn’t I? for he has a nice little room all decently furnished for any young woman to go into—besides the shop; and he never has the horses at all into the one we sleeps in, as is to be.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
