Famous quotes containing the words muzzle and/or rise:

    Many people come into company full of what they intend to say in it themselves, without the least regard to others; and thus charged up to the muzzle are resolved to let it off at any rate.

    the petals creak and
    begin to rise.
    They rise and recurl
    to a bud’s form
    and clamp shut.
    I wait in the dark.
