Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    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)

    After which you led me to water
    And bade me drink, which I did, owing to your kindness.
    You would not let me out for two days and three nights,
    Bringing me books bound in wild thyme and scented wild grasses
    As if reading had any interest for me ...
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    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)
