Sharply

Famous quotes containing the word sharply:

“It comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him.”

Let me become an instrument sharply stringed
For all things to strike music as they please.”

Could have risen to the clouds,
Could have touched these winds,
Bent and broken them down,
Could have stood up sharply in the sky.”
