Savage

Famous quotes containing the word savage:

    “The great ship, Balayne, lay frozen in the sea.
    The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
    To the wild limits of its habitation.
    These were not tepid stars of torpid places
    But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
    They looked back at Hans’ look with savage faces.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “You seem to me as Dian in her orb,
    As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown;
    But you are more intemperate in your blood
    Than Venus, or those pampered animals
    That rage in savage sensuality.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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