Tale

Famous quotes containing the word tale:

“And what’s romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it’s always daisy-time.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Once more La Traviata sighs
Another sadder song:
Once more Il Trovatore cries
A tale of deeper wrong;”
—Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)

“He repelled, a short tale to make,
Fell into a sadness, then into a fast,
Thence to a watch, thence into a weakness,
Thence to a lightness, and by this declension,
Into the madness wherein now he raves.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
