Famous quotes containing the words tooth and/or destruction:
“Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation’s final law—
Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shrieked against his creed—”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“All other things to their destruction draw,
Only our love hath no decay;
This no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday,”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
