Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or wood:
“With a laugh,
An oath of towns that set the wild at naught,
They bring the telephone and telegraph.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“bodies wrapped in elastic bands,
bodies cased in wood or used like telephones,
bodies crucified up onto their crutches,
bodies wearing rubber bags between their legs,
bodies vomiting up their juice like detergent,
bodies smooth and bare as darning eggs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
