Savage

Famous quotes containing the word savage:

    Twenty years hence my eyes may grow
    If not quite dim, yet rather so,
    Still yours from others they shall know
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    Now remember courage, go to the door,
    Open it and see whether coiled on the bed
    Or cringing by the wall, a savage beast
    Maybe with golden hair, with deep eyes
    Like a bearded spider on a sunlit floor
    Will snarl—and man can never be alone.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    O what a thing is age! Death without death’s quiet.
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
