Long Shank Spurs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or spurs:

    There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet; impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in a sickly air. People can be slave-ships in shoes.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    The wand is will; thou, fancy, saddle art,
    Girt fast by memory; and while I spur
    My horse, he spurs with sharp desire my heart;
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
