Famous quotes containing the words john and/or savage:

    “Mrs. John Lyford is so much pleased with the state of
    widowhood as to be going to put in for being a widow again; she
    is to marry a Mr. Fendall.”
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    “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)
