Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

“My wild Irish Rose,
The sweetest flow’r that grows.”

“And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,”
—Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)

“This wild star—it is now three centuries since, with clasped hands, and with streaming eyes,... I spoke it ... into birth.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
