Dull Knife

Famous quotes containing the words dull and/or knife:

    “The dull conclave of crows’-footed faces
    Twitches as the man with one dollar enters;
    It moves a soilured delicate hand, as if
    Displaying a marketable emotion on a string.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “They warsled up, they warsled down,
    Till Sir John fell to the ground,
    And there was a knife in Sir Willie’s pouch,
    Gied him a deadlie wound.”
    —Unknown. The Twa Brothers (l. 5–8)
