SPOET 



A DIGRESSION 



"The days spent in the chase are not counted in the length of hfe." — 

 A rah proverb. 



"They are the most voracious people of prey that ever existed. The 

 more vigorous run out of the island to Europe, to America, to Asia, 

 to Africa and Australia, to hunt with fury by gun, by trap, by harpoon, 

 by lasso, with dog, with horse, with elephant or with dromedary, all the 

 game that is in nature." — Emerson, English Traits.
