George Steiner— Ch. 4 (pp. 190-191)
A scrimmage in a Border Station A canter down some dark defile Two thousand pounds of education Drops to a ten-rupee jezail The Crammer's boast, the Squadron's pride, Shot like a rabbit in a ride!
rudyard kipling— Arithmetic on the Frontier, Stanza 3.
A canter is the cure for every evil.
benjamin disraeli— Benjamin Disraeli, The Young Duke
I want free life, and I want fresh air; And I sigh for the canter after the cattle, The crack of the whip like shots in battle, The medley of horns, and hoofs, and heads That wars, and wrangles, and scatters and spreads; The green beneath and the blue above, And dash, and danger, and life and love.
Frank Desprez— Lasca.
