Famous quotes containing the words cattle and/or station:
“The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
