Buck

Famous quotes containing the word buck:

    As a great buck it powerfully appeared,
    Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
    And landed pouring like a waterfall,
    And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
    And forced the underbrush—and that was all.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    How strange a thing is death, bringing to his knees, bringing to his antlers/The buck in the snow.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Chinese are wise in comprehending without many words what is inevitable and inescapable and therefore only to be borne.
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
