Boar Hunting/history

Famous quotes containing the words boar, hunting and/or history:

    Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
    Do not forget what flowers
    The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
    Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
    Her sea-blue eyes were wild
    But nothing promised that is not performed.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    God prosper long our noble king,
    Our liffes and saftyes all!
    A woefull hunting once there did
    In Chevy Chase befall.
    Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 1–4)

    There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.
    Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
