Gunpowder Falls

Famous quotes containing the words gunpowder and/or falls:

    “And there were present
    the Picninnies,
    and the Jobillies,
    and the Garyulies,
    and the great Panjandrum himself,
    with the little round button at top;
    and they all fell to playing the game
    of catch-as-catch-can,
    till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.”
    —Samuel Foote (1720–1777)

    “Time, fall no more.
    Let that be life time falls no more. The threat
    Of time we in our own courage have forsworn.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
