Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or husbandry:
“The hounding of a dog pursuing a fox or other animal in the horizon may have first suggested the notes of the hunting-horn to alternate with and relieve the lungs of the dog. This natural bugle long resounded in the woods of the ancient world before the horn was invented.”

“All her husbandry doth lie on heaps,
Corrupting in its own fertility.”
