Stalk

Famous quotes containing the word stalk:

    The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Tiger look at this, Reg.
    —Afferback Lauder. Let Stalk Strine, Ure Smith, Sydney (1965)

    Yet what I sowed and what the orchard yields
    My brother’s sons are gathering stalk and root,
    Small wonder then my children glean in fields
    They have not sown, and feed on bitter fruit.
    Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
