Grain Bullet

Famous quotes containing the words grain and/or bullet:

    For every grain of wit there is a grain of folly.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
    squandering your unquoted mirth,
    which keeps the ground, and never soars,
    while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
    tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
    goes like bullet to its mark;
    while the solid curse and jeer
    never balk the waiting ear.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
