Hunted

Famous quotes containing the word hunted:

    It was far in the sameness of the wood;
    I was running with joy on the Demon’s trail,
    Though I knew what I hunted was no true god.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    During the Civil War the area became a refuge for service- dodging Texans, and gangs of bushwhackers, as they were called, hid in its fastnesses. Conscript details of the Confederate Army hunted the fugitives and occasional skirmishes resulted.
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    For tamed and shabby tigers
    And dancing dogs and bears,
    And wretched, blind pit ponies
    And little hunted hares.
    Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)
