Red Lion Area

Famous quotes containing the words red, lion and/or area:

    Only, here and there, an old sailor,
    Drunk and asleep in his boots,
    Catches tigers
    In red weather.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
    Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 11:6.

    During the Civil War the area became a refuge for service- dodging Texans, and gangs of bushwhackers, as they were called, hid in its fastnesses. Conscript details of the Confederate Army hunted the fugitives and occasional skirmishes resulted.
