Tooth Cave

Famous quotes containing the words tooth and/or cave:

    Blow, blow, thou winter wind!
    Thou art not so unkind
    As man’s ingratitude;
    Thy tooth is not so keen
    Because thou art not seen,
    Although thy breath be rude.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
