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)

    The even mead, that erst brought sweetly forth
    The freckled cowslip, burnet, and green clover,
    Wanting the scythe, all uncorrected, rank.
    Conceives by idleness, and nothing teems
    But hateful docks, rough thistles, kecksies, burrs,
    Losing both beauty and utility.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Western hospitality prevails; it is reminiscent of the kind displayed earlier here by a host who said to an unexpected guest, “Stranger, you take the wold skin and the chaw o’ sowbelly—I’ll rough it.”
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
