Black Hawk County

Famous quotes containing the words black, hawk and/or county:

    In night when colours all to black are cast,
    Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
    The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
    Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
    Gives vain alarums to the inward sense
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    Merry Margaret,
    As midsummer flower,
    Gentle as falcon
    Or hawk of the tower:
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    A horse, a buggy and several sets of harness, valued in all at about $250, were stolen last night from the stable of Howard Quinlan, near Kingsville. The county police are at work on the case, but so far no trace of either thieves or booty has been found.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
