I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looki...ng abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our... girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We soon after saw a splendid yellow lily (Lilium canadense) by the shore, which I plucked. It was six feet high, and had twelve fl...owers, in two whorls, forming a pyramid, such as I have seen in Concord. We afterward saw many more thus tall along this stream, and also still more numerous on the East Branch, and, on the latter, one which I thought approached yet nearer to the Lilium superbum. The Indian asked what we called it, and said that the "loots" (roots) were good for soup, that is, to cook with meat, to thicken it, taking the place of flower. They get them in the fall. I dug some, and found a mass of bulbs pretty deep in the earth, two inches in diameter, looking, and even tasting, somewhat like raw green corn on the ear.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He'd been numb a long time, years. All his nights down Ninsei, his nights with Linda, numb in bed and numb at the cold sweating ce...nter of every drug deal. But now he'd found this warm thing, this chip of murder. Meat, some part of him said. It's the meat talking, ignore it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He swore he would never marry, and yet now, in despite of his heart, he eats his meat without grudging; and how you may be convert...ed I know not, but methinks you look with your eyes as other women do.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"Find meat on bones that soon have none, And drink in the two milked crags,... The merriest marrow and the dregs Before the ladies' breasts are hags And the limbs are torn...."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not ea...t any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fire, with its head, legs, and inner organs.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat no...t of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
