Trailing Craft

Famous quotes containing the words trailing and/or craft:

“As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“To clothe the fiery thought
In simple words succeeds,
For still the craft of genius is
To mask a king in weeds.”
