Ragged Tiger

Famous quotes containing the words ragged and/or tiger:

    He had ragged long grass-coloured hair;
    He had knees that stuck out of his hose;
    He had puddle-water in his shoes;
    He had half a cloak to keep him dry,
    Although he had a squirrel’s eye.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Truly men hate the truth; they’d liefer
    Meet a tiger on the road.
    Therefore the poets honey their truth with lying; but religion-
    Vendors and political men
    Pour from the barrel, new lies on the old,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
