Famous quotes containing the words tribal and/or law:

“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....”

“There was that law of life so cruel and so just which demanded that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same.”
