Observing Prey

“To an ingenuousness lady, she wants to look attractive and beautiful, while some conscienceless Scoundrels prey on That Beauty…”

“First there is the lying in wait for prey; the prey is marked down long before it is aware of our designs on it. With feelings of pleasure and approval it is contemplated, observed and kept watch over; it is seen as game whilst it is still free, and so intensely and irrevocably seen as game that nothing can deflect the watcher's determination to get hold of it. Already while he is prowling round it he feels that it belongs to him. From the moment he selects it as his prey, he thinks of it as incorporated into himself.”

― Elias Canetti, Crowds and Power (with apologies)

 

A lion's work hours are only when he's hungry; once he's satisfied, the predator and prey live peacefully together.

Westminster is a jungle - and the hunter can always smell fear on its prey.

Charles Kennedy

 

“When stalking one’s prey, it is best to take one’s time. Say nothing, and sure as eggs, the victim will become curious and emerge.”

Harper Lee

 

“The longer it takes me to track you down, the more hope you have of escaping.”

“Shimmery jewels to the eye of the thief, are like an allure similar to that of what a fox laying in the hedgerow anticipates.”

Craig Abbot
