Skinny Fists

Famous quotes containing the words skinny and/or fists:

    Say never the strong heart
    In the consuming breath
    Cries out unto the dark
    The skinny death.

    The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.
