Dull Cherry

Famous quotes containing the words dull and/or cherry:

    “The dull conclave of crows’-footed faces
    Twitches as the man with one dollar enters;
    It moves a soilured delicate hand, as if
    Displaying a marketable emotion on a string.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
    Lat me the dead look on;
    Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
    She lay an’ smil’d on him.

    O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
    An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
    For I hae fasted for your sake
    These fully day [is] nine.”
    —Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)
