Entry 219

There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippototamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.
Carl Sandburg

I shoot the hippopotamus with bullets made of platinum, because if I use the leaden one his hide is sure to flatten 'em.
Hilaire Belloc

He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk
Descending from the bus:
He looked again, and found it was
A Hippopotamus.
"If this should stay to dine", he said,
There won't be much for us!
Lewis Carroll
