Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or geese:

    I know that Quiet
    Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
    Among pigeons and bees, while the Great Archer,
    Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
    A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Let the long contention cease! Geese are swans, and swans are geese. Let them have it how they will! Thou art tired; best be still.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
