Backed Bearded Saki

Famous quotes containing the words backed and/or bearded:

    “It looked as if
    The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
    The cliff in being backed by continent;
    It looked as if a night of dark intent
    Was coming, and not only a night, an age.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Now remember courage, go to the door,
    Open it and see whether coiled on the bed
    Or cringing by the wall, a savage beast
    Maybe with golden hair, with deep eyes
    Like a bearded spider on a sunlit floor
    Will snarl—and man can never be alone.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
