State Dog

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or dog:

    The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.”
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Pollicle dogs and cats all must
    Jellicle cats and dogs all must
    Like undertakers, come to dust.
    Here a little dog I pause
    Heaving up my prior paws,
    Pause, and sleep endlessly.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
