“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)
“How much the greatest event it is that ever happened in the world! and how much the best!”
—Charles James Fox (1749–1806)
“Scarlet, and blue, and snowy white,
The guidon flags flutter gaily in the wind.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The mountain sheep are sweeter,
But the valley sheep are fatter;
We therefore deemed it meeter
To carry off the latter.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
