Spanish term or phrase: del gran cérvido en fuga
The text is a quotation from Jose Ortega y Gasset about the origins of falconry:

Como él no es pájaro ni tiene uno a mano (es sorprendente lo poco que el hombre más primitivo se ocupó de las aves), puso en una vara pico a una punta, y plumas a la otra; es decir, creó el volátil artificial, la flecha, que vuela rauda por el espacio hacia el flanco del gran cérvido en fuga."
