QUOTES AND IMAGES FROM COLUMBUS BY YOUNG

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

By Filson Young

A man standing on the sea-shore

Absent for a little time, and his
organisation went to pieces

All days, however hard, have an
evening, and all journeys an end

Amerigo Vespucci

And every one goes naked and unashamed

At last extricate himself from the
theological stupor

Attempts that have been made to glorify
him socially

Bede, in the eighth century,
established it finally (sphericity)

Began to offer bargains to the Almighty

Believed that the Spaniards came from
heaven

Biography which obscures the truth with
legends and pretences

Cannibal epicures did not care for the
flesh of women and boys

Christian era denied the theory of the
roundness of the earth

Columbus, calling for an egg, laid a
wager

Columbus never once mentions his wife

Columbus's habit of being untruthful in
regard to his own past

Cooling off in his enthusiasm as the
pastime became a task

Desire to get a great deal of money
without working for it

Diminishing object to the wet eyes of
his mother, sailed away

Dogs wagged their tails, but that never
barked

Establishment of ten footmen and twenty
other servants

Exchanging the natives for cattle

First known discovery of tobacco by
Europeans

First organised transaction of slavery
on the part of Columbus

Freed by force and with guns

Having issued three Bulls in twenty-four hours,
he desisted

He had a way of rising above petty
indignities

He was a great stickler for the
observances of religion

Hearts quick to burn, quick to forget

Heretics were being burned every year
by the G
