Famous quotes containing the words crazy and/or horse:
“I knew that I had seen, had seen at last
That girl my unremembering nights hold fast
Or else my dreams that fly
If I should rub an eye,
And yet in flying fling into my meat
A crazy juice that makes the pulses beat....”

Our horsemanships, while by strange work I prove
A horseman to my horse, a horse to Love,”
