Savage River

Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or river:

“What life is best?
Courts are but only superficial schools
To dandle fools:
The rural parts are turned into a den
Of savage men:
And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
But may be termed the worst of all the three?”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“There is a great river this side of Stygia,”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
