Rough

Famous quotes containing the word rough:

    Thus far with rough and all-unable pen
    Our bending author hath pursued the story.
    In little room confining mighty men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But this rough magic
    I here abjure, and when I have required
    Some heavenly music—which even now I do—
    To work mine end upon their senses that
    This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff,
    Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
    And deeper than did ever plummet sound
    I’ll drown my book.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Not once or twice in our rough island-story
    The path of booty was the way to glory.
