Famous quotes containing the words hourly and/or discharge:
“be a while our guests:
For stars, gaze on our eyes.
The compass love shall hourly sing,
And as he goes about the ring,
We will not miss
To tell each point he nameth with a kiss.”
—William Browne (1591–1643)
““Weren’t you relieved to find he wasn’t dead?”
“No! and yet I don’t know it’s hard to say.
I went about to kill him fair enough.”
“You took an awkward way. Did he discharge you?”
“Discharge me? No! He knew I did just right.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
