Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or stakes:
“The savage soul of game is up at once
The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
Wild for the chase, and the loud hunters shout
Oer a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
—James Thomson (17001748)
“Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.”
—William Empson (19061984)
