Horses

Famous quotes containing the word horses:

    “Come, dear children, let us away;
    Down and away below!
    Now my brothers call from the bay,
    Now the great winds shoreward blow,
    Now the salt tides seaward flow;
    Now the wild white horses play,
    Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “We are like horses who hurt themselves as soon as they pull on their bits—and we bow our heads. We even lose consciousness of the situation, we just submit. Any re-awakening of thought is then painful.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “I see the horses and the sad streets
    Of my childhood in an agate eye
    Roving, under the clean sheets,
    Over a black hole in the sky.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
