Famous quotes containing the words sharp and/or key:
“Freedom is like a man who kills himself
Each night, an incessant butcher, whose knife
Grows sharp in blood.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“At the last, tenderly,
From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
Let me be wafted.
Let me glide noiselessly forth;
With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
Set ope the doors O soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
