Iron Gall

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or gall:

    Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,
    And the sound of iron on stone,
    And how the silence surged softly backward,
    When the plunging hoofs were gone.
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    No might nor greatness in mortality
    Can censure scape; back-wounding calumny
    The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong
    Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
