Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This wild swan of a world is no hunter’s game.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    The rabbit presses back her ears,
    Turns back her liquid, anguished eyes
    And crouches low; then with wild spring
    Spurts from the terror of his oncoming;
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
