Famous quotes containing the words fat, deer and/or key:

    “One year
    They sent a million here:
    Here men were drunk like water, burnt like wood.
    The fat of good
    And evil, the breast’s star of hope
    Were rendered into soap.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    “When shot, the deer seldom drops immediately, but runs sometimes for hours, the hunter in hot pursuit. This phase, known as ‘deer running,’ develops fleet runners, particularly in deer- jacking expeditions when the law is pursuing the hunters as swiftly as the hunters are pursuing the deer.”
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The knight slew the dragon,
    The lady was gay,
    They rode on together,
    Away, away.”
    —Unknown. This Is the Key (l. 38–41)
