Famous quotes containing the words tiger and/or fist:

Is not more irritable than I.

Than when I smell the enemy
Writhing in the essential blood
Or dangling from the friendly tree.”

From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
In the exultant labor of his rise;”
