White Race

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or race:

    The white stretch
    of its white beach,
    curved as the moon crescent
    or ivory when some fine hand
    chisels it.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
    Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
    Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
    Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
    Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
    whispered—down in hell
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
