Famous quotes containing the word fierce:
“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)
“When the fierce north-western blast
Cools sea and land so far and fast,
Thou already slumberest deep;
Woe and want thou canst outsleep;
Want and woe, which torture us,
Thy sleep makes ridiculous.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
