Foul Territory

Famous quotes containing the words foul and/or territory:

“By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
Burning and sweating venomously,
Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Size is not grandeur, and territory does not make a nation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
