    “Then spoke the thunder
    Da
    Datta: what have we given?”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “He spoke to the rabble;
    dead,
    dead,
    dead were our ears
    that heard not, yet heard.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
