Hunted Bear

Famous quotes containing the words hunted and/or bear:

    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)

    Their legs long, delicate and slender, aquamarine their eyes,
    Magical unicorns bear ladies on their backs.
    The ladies close their musing eyes. No prophecies,
    Remembered out of Babylonian almanacs,
    Have closed the ladies’ eyes, their minds are but a pool
    Where even longing drowns under its own excess....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
