Double Sharp

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or sharp:

“The Cossack eats Poland,
Like stolen fruit;
Her last noble is ruined,
Her last poet mute:
Straight, into double band
The victors divide;
Half for freedom strike and stand;—
The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Freedom is like a man who kills himself
Each night, an incessant butcher, whose knife
Grows sharp in blood.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
