Famous quotes containing the word fierce:
“Walk in this faithless grass with studious tread,
Lest mice, weasels, germane beasts, too soon
The tall hat and eyes, the fierce feet, for dead
Descry, and fix you prone in their revelling moon.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“... and fierce in each disk
of coarse yellow the archaic
smile, almost
agony, almost
a boy’s grin.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“But as I raved and grew more fierce and wild
At every word,
Me thoughts, I heard one calling, ‘Child!’
And I replied, ‘My Lord.’”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
