“Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines.

—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And oh, I knew, I knew,
And said out loud, I couldn’t bide the smother
And heat so close in; but the thought of all
The woods and town on fire by me, and all
The town turned out to fight for me that held me.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
