Rough

Famous quotes containing the word rough:

“Now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

Our bending author hath pursued the story.
In little room confining mighty men.”

The path of duty was the way to glory.”
