Quotes
- “Thus when a barber and collier fight,The barber beats the luckless collier—white;The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack,And, big with vengeance, beats the barber—black.In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o’erspread,And beats the collier and the barber—red;Black, red, and white, in various clouds are toss’d,And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost.”
- “Night with all her negro train,Took possession of the plain;In an hearse she rode reclin'd.Drawn by screech-owls slow and blind:Close to her, with printless feet,Crept Stillness in a winding sheet.”
- “Behind him came Health from her cottage of thatch,Where never physician had lifted the latch.”
- “Well of all dogs it stands confess'd,Your English bull dogs are the best.”
- “Too hard for any frog's digestion,To have his froghood call'd in question!”
- “Ma'm, architecture you're not skill'd in,I don't approve your way of building;In this there's nothing like design,Pray learn the use of Gunter's line.”
