Famous quotes containing the words roaring and/or meg:

    I’ll read you matter deep and dangerous,
    As full of peril and adventurous spirit
    As to o’erwalk a current roaring loud
    On the unsteadfast footing of a spear.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    O bid me mount and sail up there
    Amid the cloudy wrack,
    For Peg and Meg and Paris’ love
    That had so straight a back,
    Are gone away, and some that stay
    Have changed their silk for sack.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
