Wild

Famous quotes containing the word wild:

Sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead
From a bough
Without ever having felt sorry for itself.”

With anything with soft-wooded trees
With mounds of earthmounds
Of pine straw will keep themselves off
Animals by legends of their own:”

The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
