Famous quotes containing the words prairie and/or chicken:

    The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
    In the days of long ago,
    Ranged where the locomotives sing
    And the prairie flowers lie low:—
    Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    Filling her compact & delicious body
    with chicken paprika, she glanced at me
    twice.
