Lions Played

Famous quotes containing the words lions and/or played:

    If oxen and horses and lions had hands and were able to draw with their hands and do the same things as men, horses would draw the shapes of gods to look like horses and oxen would draw them to look like oxen, and each would make the gods bodies have the same shape as they themselves had.
    Xenophanes (c. 570–478 B.C.)

    At first,
    our bodies were as one.
    Then
    you were unloving,
    but I still played the wretched favorite.
    Now
    you’re the master
    and we’re the wife.
    What’s next?
    This is the fruit I reap
    from my diamond-hard life.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
