Cunning Folk

Famous quotes containing the words cunning and/or folk:

    But chief to heedless flies the window proves
    A constant death; where gloomily retired,
    The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
    Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
    Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
    O’erlooking all his waving snares around.
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    Some folk want their luck buttered.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
