Forty Rounds

Famous quotes containing the words forty and/or rounds:

    “For forty days, for forty nights
    Jesus put one foot in front of the other
    and the man he carried,
    if it was a man,
    became heavier and heavier.”

    “Within the hollow crown
    That rounds the mortal temples of a king
    Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
    Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
    Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
    To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
