Fox Calls

Famous quotes containing the words fox and/or calls:

    The lily in splendor, the vine in her grace,
    The fox in the forest, all had their desire,
    As then I had mine, in the place that was happy and poor.
    Ruth Pitter (b. 1897)

    Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
