Large Prey

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or prey:

    Spring is strong and virtuous,
    Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
    Quickening underneath the mould
    Grains beyond the price of gold.
    So deep and large her bounties are,
    That one broad, long midsummer day
    Shall to the planet overpay
    The ravage of a year of war.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I love to see that Nature is so rife with life that myriads can be afforded to be sacrificed and suffered to prey on one another; that tender organizations can be so serenely squashed out of existence like pulp.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
