Lead Bullet

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or bullet:

“But an old age serene and bright,
And lovely as a Lapland night,
Shall lead thee to thy grave.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
