with Horse and Hound

Tradition and the Individual Talent

 henry s. taylor2Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet, Henry Taylor

An old-school foxhunter let it get around
that he hunted a deer-proof pack. Hard to believe:
foxhounds are born to run foxes, all right,
but you have to make them stay off rabbits,
housecats, chickens, etc. They learn to stop
when the hound-whip cracks. Deer scent, though,
is strong enough to put whips out of their minds.
