Savage River

Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or river:

    Captain, the man of skill, the expert
    Leader, the creator of bursting color
    And rainbow sortilege, the savage weapon
    Against enemies, against the prester,
    Presto, whose whispers prickle the spirit.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    But not luck
    brought us here. By design
    clear air and cold wind polish
    the river lights, by design
    we are to live now in a new place.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
