On the North side of the Prairie suddenly there were some completely black columns. They had no specific shape and were continually changed in size and shape;they stood motionless, then glided over the charred earth like a giant on skates, bending and leaning to each other, as if in fantastic shapes, some kind of dance. Imagine the legendary titans that come to life on the Prairie of Texas, and danced in a frenzied Orgy.

They loved him less than God, but he feared more, though it cannot be called a bad owner compared to other slave owners. He didn't find much pleasure in torturing her slaves and was pleased when I saw that they are fed and clothed, that their skin shiny from grease. Because of these signs judged the well-being of himself their master.

In the end, how beautiful the Patriarchal manners of the slaveholders! And after all that we said and made for the abolition of slavery! An attempt to destroy this ancient building is a worthy cornerstone of a chivalrous nation-only philanthropic whim, excess sensitivity. About you, fanatics dedicated to the destruction of slavery!

Time and separation often destroy the love. She has the same memories. The impermanence of human impact and that he, admiring the ideal, yet usually prefers real and real. Beautiful women in the world, but no one that would be more beautiful than them all. There is no man who would be prettier than all the other men. But two equally beautiful paintings still better than the one you are watching at the moment. Not coincidentally lovers dread to think about separation.

In this same Prairie where prowl such ferocious predators, its rich pastures graze the most noble and beautiful of all animals the most intelligent of all four-legged friends of man - the horse.
