Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    His mind resembled the vast amphitheatre, the Colisæum at Rome. In the centre stood his judgement, which, like a mighty gladiator, combated those apprehensions that, like the wild beasts of the Arena, were all around the cells, ready to be let out upon him. After a conflict, he drove them back into their dens; but not killing them, they were still assailing him.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    It is hard going to the door
    cut so small in the wall where
    the vision which echoes loneliness
    brings a scent of wild flowers in the wood.
    Robert Creeley (b. 1926)
