Famous quotes by james dickey:

    those that are hunted
    Know this as their life,
    Their reward: to walk
    Under such trees in full knowledge
    Of what is in glory above them,
    And to feel no fear,
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    Proclaiming what choices there are
    For the last dancers of their kind,

    For ill women and for all slaves
    Of death,
    James Dickey (b. 1923)
