Savage River

Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or river:

“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)

“The river sweats
Oil and tar
The barges drift
With the turning tide”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
