Blows

Famous quotes containing the word blows:

“Who blows death’s feather? What glory is colour?
I blow the stammel feather in the vein.
The loin is glory in a working pallor.
My clay unsuckled and my salt unborn,
The secret child, I shift about the sea
Dry in the half-tracked thigh.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“... this nation is rotten at the heart, and ... nothing but the most tremendous blows with the sledge-hammer of abolition truth, could ever have broken the false rest which we had taken up for ourselves on the very brink of ruin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
