17. Country Sayings

THE closing of an Autumn evening is like the running of a hound across the moor.

Night is a good herd: she brings all creatures home.

Lie down with the lamb

And rise with the bird,

From the time you see a harrow and a man behind it

Until you see stacks of turf and cocks of hay.
