Famous quotes containing the words double, ten and/or day:
“Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
Ease me with death by bidding me got too.

And a just office on a murderer do.
Except it be too late to kill me so,
Being double dead: going, and bidding go.”

It comes each day with its shock
to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
and peck at the black eyes
and the vibrating red muscle
of my mouth.”
