Wild Goose

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or goose:

    From my experience with wild apples, I can understand that there may be reason for a savage’s preferring many kinds of food which the civilized man rejects. The former has the palate of an outdoor man. It takes a savage or wild taste to appreciate a wild fruit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This is the rat
    That ate the malt
    That lay in the house that Jack built.
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. The House That Jack Built (l. 4–6)
