Walrus Ivory Carving

Famous quotes containing the words walrus and/or ivory:

    “The time has come,” the Walrus said,
    “To talk of many things:
    Of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax—
    Of cabbages—and kings—
    And why the sea is boiling hot—
    And whether pigs have wings.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    The only refuge left to us was the poet’s ivory tower, which we climbed, ever higher, to isolate ourselves from the mob.
