Famous quotes containing the words primitive and/or pit:

    That primitive head
    So ambitiously vast,
    Yet so rude in its art,
    Is as easily read
    For the woes of the past
    As a clinical chart.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    For tamed and shabby tigers
    And dancing dogs and bears,
    And wretched, blind pit ponies
    And little hunted hares.
    Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)
