Famous quotes containing the word fierce:
“I turn my head to sky rains falling,
wash the wounds of numbness from my soul.
Turn my heart in tides of fierce renewal,
where love and rage run whole.
Come drink deep.”

“... and fierce in each disk
of coarse yellow the archaic
smile, almost
agony, almost
a boy’s grin.”

“My beards, attend
To the laughter of evil: the fierce ricanery
With the ferocious chu-chot-chu between, the sobs
For breath to laugh the louder, the deeper gasps
Uplifting the completest rhetoric
Of sneers....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
