Savage

Famous quotes containing the word savage:

    Every civilization when it loses its inner vision and its cleaner energy, falls into a new sort of sordidness, more vast and more stupendous than the old savage sort. An Augean stable of metallic filth.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)

    I have since written what no tide
    Shall ever wash away, what men
    Unborn shall read o’er ocean wide
    And find Ianthe’s name agen.
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
