Tale Heart

Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or heart:

    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)

    Swift beating on his breast in sibylline frenzy blind
    Because the heart in his blood-sodden breast had dragged him down into mankind ...
