The Gay Blade

Famous quotes containing the words gay and/or blade:

    But who can paint
    Like Nature? Can imagination boast
    Amid its gay creation, hues like hers?

    I would not knock old fellows in the dust
    But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
    His weapons were the old heart in his bust
    And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.
