Wild Knights

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or knights:

    “I should be glad if all the meadows on the earth were left in a wild state, if that were the consequence of men’s beginning to redeem themselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
    They are no wealthier than I;
    But with as brave a core within
    They rear their boughs to the October sky.
    Poor knights they are which bravely wait
    The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
    Keeping a simple Roman state,
    Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
