Famous quotes containing the word blows:
“Who blows deaths feather? What glory is colour?

My clay unsuckled and my salt unborn,
The secret child, I shift about the sea
Dry in the half-tracked thigh.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“A thousand moral paintings I can show
That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortunes
More pregnantly than words.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“[Gen. William S.] Rosecrans [at Chicamauga] has been badly beaten!... How these blows strike my heart!... I suffer from these blows more than I did from the loss of my sweet little boy. But I suffer less now than I did from Bull Run, or even Fredericksburg.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
