Fierce

Famous quotes containing the word fierce:

    A fierce unrest seethes at the core,
    Of all existing things:,
    It was the eager wish to soar,
    That gave the gods their wings.
    Don Marquis (1878–1937)

    ... and fierce in each disk
    of coarse yellow the archaic
    smile, almost
    agony, almost
    a boy’s grin.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    At night the passion came,
    Like the fierce fiend of a distempered dream,
    And shook him from his rest, and led him forth
    Into the darkness.—
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
