Bare Knuckle

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or knuckle:

“Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“What’s in the cupboard?
Says Mr. Hubbard.
A knuckle of veal,
Says Mr. Beal.”
