Howling

Famous quotes containing the word howling:

“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Like a fiend in a cloud
With howling woe,
After night I do crowd,
And with night will go;”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
