Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or river:

    I warmed both hands before the fire of life;
    It sinks, and I am ready to depart.

    It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.... As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”
