Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    “The Great South Beach of Long Island,... though wild and desolate, as it wants the bold bank,... possesses but half the grandeur of Cape Cod in my eyes, nor is the imagination contented with its southern aspect.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Come, dear children, let us away;
    Down and away below!
    Now my brothers call from the bay,
    Now the great winds shoreward blow,
    Now the salt tides seaward flow;
    Now the wild white horses play,
    Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “I never saw a wild thing
    Sorry for itself.
    A small bird will drop frozen dead
    From a bough
    Without ever having felt sorry for itself.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
