Fixed Blade

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or blade:

    These earthly godfathers of Heaven’s lights,
    That give a name to every fixed star,
    Have no more profit of their shining nights
    Than those that walk and wot not what they are.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I would not knock old fellows in the dust
    But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
    His weapons were the old heart in his bust
    And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
