Famous quotes containing the words gate and/or keeper:

    What was dancing to you then?
    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    There was a weasel lived in the sun
    With all his family,
    Till a keeper shot him with his gun
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
