The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.
--
"Scrolls"Woody Allen
Thou wear a lion’s hide! doff it for shame,
And hang a calf’s-skin on those recreant limbs.King of England John
"Stop, you idiot!" I bawled at her. Her face laughed over her shoulder at me. She walked without haste to the door, her short skirt of gray flannel shaping itself to the calf of each gray wool-stockinged leg as its mate stepped forward. Sweat greased the gun in my hand. When her right foot was on the doorsill, a little chuckling sound came from her throat. "Adieu!" she said softly.
And I put a bullet in the calf of her leg. She sat down--plump! Utter surprise stretched her white face. It was too soon for pain. I had never shot a woman before. I felt queer about it.
"You ought to have known I'd do it!" My voice sounded harsh and savage and like a stranger's in my ears. "Didn't I steal a crutch from a cripple?"Dashiell Hammett
A cow couldn't find its calf in this room.
Addison Mizner
You can't expect the fatted calf to share the enthusiasm of the angels over the prodigal's return.
Saki
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead;
They followed still his crooked way
And lost a hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent.Sam Walter Foss
