Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    The sea, vast and wild as it is, bears thus the waste and wrecks of human art to its remotest shore. There is no telling what it may not vomit up.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)

    The poet’s, commonly, is not a logger’s path, but a woodman’s. The logger and pioneer have preceded him, like John the Baptist; eaten the wild honey, it may be, but the locusts also; banished decaying wood and the spongy mosses which feed on it, and built hearths and humanized Nature for him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
