Tigers Beat

Famous quotes containing the words tigers and/or beat:

“The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Whether he cringe at my feet,
whether he beat on your eyes,
white wings, white butterflies.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
