Where, undisguised by mimic art, she spreads
Unbounded beauty to the roving eye.”

“Where the wild savage roves, and the broad prairies spread,
The fallen — despised — will again go ahead.”

Davy Crockett (1786–1836) American politician

Context: In peace or in war I have stood by thy side —
My country, for thee I have lived, would have died!
But I am cast off, my career now is run,
And I wander abroad like the prodigal son —
Where the wild savage roves, and the broad prairies spread,
The fallen — despised — will again go ahead.
