    No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
    Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    “The hounding of a dog pursuing a fox or other animal in the horizon may have first suggested the notes of the hunting-horn to alternate with and relieve the lungs of the dog. This natural bugle long resounded in the woods of the ancient world before the horn was invented.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There was nothing to equal it in the whole history of the Corps Diplomatique.”
    —James Boswell (1740–1795)
