Famous quotes containing the words wild, card and/or game:
“Birch boughs enough piled everywhere!
All fresh and sound from the recent ax.
Time someone came with cart and pair
And got them off the wild flowers’ backs.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The savage soul of game is up at once—
The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
