Famous quotes containing the word spoke:

    “ ...He spoke to his wife in the door, ‘Let me see,
    Mame, we don’t know any good berrying place?’
    It was all he could do to keep a straight face.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “You’ll have me over the cliff,” he exclaimed hardly ever yet putting out his strength against her.
    “And so I will, by the help of God. Now think of her! Now think of her!” And as she spoke she pressed him backwards towards his fall.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    A Stranger came to the door at eve,
    And he spoke the bridegroom fair.
    He bore a green-white stick in his hand,
    And, for all burden, care.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
