Blunt

Famous quotes containing the word blunt:

“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Come, blunt your spear with us,
our pace is hot.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“What a blunt fellow is this grown to be!
He was quick mettle when he went to school.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
