Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or poacher:

    Only at his maximum does an individual surpass all his derivative elements, and become purely himself. And most people never get there. In his own pure individuality a man surpasses his father and mother, and is utterly unknown to them.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire,
    Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
    Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
    Oh, ‘tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.
    —Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher (l. 1–4)
