What is tail end?

Famous quotes containing the word tail:

    “And how do you know that you’re mad?”
    “To begin with,” the Cat said, “a dog’s not mad. You grant that?”
    “I suppose so,” said Alice.
    “Well then,” the Cat went on, “you see a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. Therefore I’m mad.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Yet I suppose what seems to us confusion
    Is not confusion, but the form of forms,
    The serpent’s tail stuck down the serpent’s throat....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
