Put Off

Famous quotes containing the word put:

“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)

“It put an insidious fear in him
like a tongue depressor held fast
at the back of your throat.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
