Tribal Land

Famous quotes containing the words tribal and/or land:

    What is this conversation, now secular,
    A speech not mine yet speaking for me in
    The heaving jelly of my tribal air?
    It rises in the throat, it climbs the tongue,
    It perches there for secret tutelage....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    When I have reached the shady underground
    With but sad hope of coming up again,
    I shall implore your ghost to hover round
    And guide me to a land of lucky men....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
