Sheep Stations

Famous quotes containing the words sheep and/or stations:

    This noble ensample to his sheep he yaf,
    That first he wroghte, and afterward he taughte.
    Out of the gospel he tho wordes caughte,
    And this figure he added eek therto,
    That if gold ruste, what shal iren do?
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.
    Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
