Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or river:
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the loggers camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
Theres a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped cleana river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
