King Coyote

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or coyote:

    Like to the tree of Tantalus she fled,
    And seeming lavish, sav’de her maydenhead.
    Ne’re king more sought to keepe his diademe;
    Than Hero this inestimable gemme.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    The Apache have a legend that the coyote brought them fire and that the bear in his hibernations communes with the spirits of the “overworld” and later imparts the wisdom gained thereby to the medicine men.
