Tiger Cage

Famous quotes containing the words tiger and/or cage:

    The tiger in the tiger-pit
    Is not more irritable than I.
    The whipping tail is not more still
    Than when I smell the enemy
    Writhing in the essential blood
    Or dangling from the friendly tree.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Out of the cage came Eve,
    escaping, escaping.
    She was clothed in her skin like the sun
    and her ankles were not for sale.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
