Savage

Famous quotes containing the word savage:

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

    Stand close around,ye Stygian set,
    With Dirce in one boat convey’d,
    Or Charon, seeing, may forget
    That he is old, and she a shade.
    —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)
