These hunt, as they have done

More deadly than they can believe.

Additional quotes by James Dickey

I saw for a blazing moment
The great grassy world from both sides,
Man and beast in the round of their need.

I was standing in the most absolute aloneness that I had ever been given.

I have just come down from my father.
Higher and higher he lies
Above me in a blue light
Shed by a tinted window.

These hunt, as they have done But with claws and teeth grown perfect, More deadly than they can believe. - James Dickey
