Caught

Famous quotes containing the word caught:

“Who can ... guess how much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes?”

“I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy!”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“It makes so little difference, at so much more
Than seventy, where one looks, one has been there before.
Wood-smoke rises through trees, is caught in an upper flow
Of air and whirled away. But it has been often so.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
