Famous quotes containing the word pointed:
“I heard the beat of centaurs hoofs over the hard turf
As his dry and passionate talk devoured the afternoon.
He is a charming man But after all what did he mean?
His pointed ears. ... He must be unbalanced,
There was something he said that I might have challenged.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take
And stab my spirit broad awake;
Or, Lord, if too obdurate I,
Choose thou, before that spirit die,
A piercing pain, a killing sin,
And to my dead heart run them in!”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (18501894)
