Cattle/species

Famous quotes containing the words cattle and/or species:

“Young steers become old cattle from that day,
Electric limits to their widest senses.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
