Common Edge

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or edge:

“There were none of the small deer up there; they are more common about the settlements. One ran into the city of Bangor two years before, and jumped through a window of costly plate glass, and then into a mirror, where it thought it recognized one of its kind.... This the inhabitants speak of as the deer that went a-shopping.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Truth that peeps
Over the glasses’ edge when dinner’s done.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
