Famous quotes containing the words hill and/or gate:

    “This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horse-back-
    breaker, this huge hill of flesh.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Hark, hark, the lark at heaven’s gate sings,
    And Phoebus’ gins arise,
    His steeds to water at those springs
    On chaliced flowers that lies;
    And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their golden eyes;
    With every thing that pretty is, my lady sweet, arise;
    Arise, arise!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
