Wild Beasts Quotes

“It seems we hold court in the woods tonight,” said Lord Brandoch Daha. “It is very pleasant. Yet hold thee ready with me to put some firebrands amongst ’em if need befall. ’Tis likely some of these great beasts are little schooled in court ceremonies.”
― E.R. Eddison, The Worm Ouroboros

“One day he decided he was more dependent on the kindness of women than he liked so he went off to hunt wild beasts with his bare hands. But all he found was a stray dog & a couple of old pigeons & it was cold & he missed the sound of soft voices, so finally he came back & never worried about it again.
—Iron John”
