Shaft Tells

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 shooter’s 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.
    Unknown. The Cuckoo (l. 1–4)
