Man…can understand a lion, because a lion in its simplest
form, beautiful, menacing, dangerous, and attractive to his ego. A lion has always been the symbol of
challenge, the prototype of personal hazard.
You get the lion or the lion gets you.
Robert Ruark “Use Enough Gun” (1952)
A personal note here, Robert Ruark is one of my favorite
writers and a fellow North Carolinian.
