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)

    “For all symbols are fluxional; all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
