Bolt Actions

Famous quotes containing the words bolt and/or actions:

“When the words rustle no more,
And the last work’s done,
When the bolt lies deep in the door,”

“Now they express
All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
All actions done in patient hopelessness,
All that ignores the silences of death,
Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
All that grows old,
Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
