Nailed

Famous quotes containing the word nailed:

“A master of men was the Goodly Fere,
A mate of the wind and sea,
If they think they ha’ slain our Goodly Fere
They are fools eternally.

I ha’ seen him eat o’ the honey-comb
Sin’ they nailed him to the tree.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

Near no accustomed hand;
And they had nailed the boards above her face....”

Parted the Norsemen,”
