Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    “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)

    “Birch boughs enough piled everywhere!
    All fresh and sound from the recent ax.
    Time someone came with cart and pair
    And got them off the wild flowers’ backs.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The colicky baby who becomes calm, the quiet infant who throws temper tantrums at two, the wild child at four who becomes serious and studious at six all seem to surprise their parents. It is difficult to let go of one’s image of a child, say goodbye to the child a parent knows, and get accustomed to this slightly new child inhabiting the known child’s body.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
