Blunt

Famous quotes containing the word blunt:

“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

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

“He was always smoothing and polishing himself, and in the end he became blunt before he was sharp.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
