Famous quotes containing the word cattle:
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Young steers become old cattle from that day,
Electric limits to their widest senses.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
