Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.

‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
And ev’ry health which I begin
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
—William Shenstone (1714–1763)

“And ten low words oft creep in one dull line:”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“This was one of the rye-bread days, all dull and damp without.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
