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 hunter’s shout—
    O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
    Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.”
    —William Empson (1906–1984)
