Flat

Famous quotes containing the word flat:

“On a flat road runs the well-trained runner,
He is lean and sinewy with muscular legs,
He is thinly clothed, he leans forward as he runs,
With lightly closed fists and arms partially raised.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o’ the world!
Crack nature’s moulds, all germens spill at once
That makes ingrateful man!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“perpetually crouched, quivering, upon the
sternly allotted sandpile
Mhow silently
emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

o no.
comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
