Dull Knife

Famous quotes containing the words dull and/or knife:

    Go, throng each other’s drawing-rooms,
    Ye idols of a petty clique:
    Strut your brief hour in borrowed plumes,
    And make your penny-trumpets squeak:
    Deck your dull talk with pilfered shreds
    Of learning from a noble time,
    And oil each other’s little heads
    With mutual Flattery’s golden slime.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    When she, and though some said she played
    I said that she had danced heart’s truth,
    Drew a knife to strike him dead,
    I could but leave him to his fate;
    For, no matter what is said,
    They had all that had their hate....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
