Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    But cruel are the times when we are traitors
    And do not know ourselves, when we hold rumor
    From what we fear, yet know not what we fear,
    But float upon a wild and violent sea
    Each way and move.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I never saw a wild thing
    Sorry for itself.
    A small bird will drop frozen dead
    From a bough
    Without ever having felt sorry for itself.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The wild beasts, sparrows pecking the llamas’ grain,
    Pigeons settling on the bears’ bread, buzzards
    Tearing the meat the flies have clouded. . . .
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
