Cattle/weight

Famous quotes containing the words cattle and/or weight:

“They may bring their fattest cattle and richest fruits to the fair, but they are all eclipsed by the show of men. These are stirring autumn days, when men sweep by in crowds, amid the rustle of leaves like migrating finches; this is the true harvest of the year, when the air is but the breath of men, and the rustling of leaves is as the trampling of the crowd.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The hurt is not enough:
I long for weight and strength
To feel the earth as rough
To all my length.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
