Beast

Famous quotes containing the word beast:

    Not from this anger, anticlimax after
    Refusal struck her loin and the lame flower
    Bent like a beast to lap the singular floods....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    his head
    May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair
    Of the woman that he loves, until he dies.
    O beast of the wilderness, bird of the air,
    Must I endure your amorous cries?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
