Bare Knuckle

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or knuckle:

    “Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “What’s in the cupboard?
    Says Mr. Hubbard.
    A knuckle of veal,
    Says Mr. Beal.”
    —Unknown. What’s in the Cupboard? (L. 1–4)
