Horse Bones

Famous quotes containing the words horse and/or bones:

“A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.”

In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.

There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
