Famous quotes containing the word shakespear:
“With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespear when I measure my mind against his....

First reard the Stage, immortal Shakespear rose;
Each Change of many-colourd Life he drew,
Exhausted Worlds, and then imagind new:”
