Dying Hercules

Famous quotes containing the words dying and/or hercules:

“The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.”

“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
