Famous quotes containing the words shaft and/or tells:
“Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions jaws!
So let them sink as water in the sand;
When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
Shiver the shaft ere past the shooters hand.
So make them melt as the dishoused snail”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)
“The cuckoo is a merry bird,
He sings as he flies,
He brings us glad tidings
And tells us no lies.”
