Camel Race

Famous quotes containing the words camel and/or race:

    Alas, alas for Hamelin!
    There came into many a burgher’s pate
    A text which says that Heaven’s Gate
    Opes to the rich at as easy rate
    As the needle’s eye takes a camel in!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Spring, of all seasons most gratuitous,
    Is fold of untaught flower, is race of water,
    Is earth’s most multiple, excited daughter;
    And those she has least use for see her best,
    Their paths grown craven and circuitous,
    Their visions mountain-clear, their needs immodest.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
