Rope Parts

Famous quotes containing the words rope and/or parts:

    They have gone about the world like wind,
    But little time had they to pray
    For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
    And what, God help us, could they save?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Thus Satan talking to his neerest Mate
    With Head up-lift above the wave, and Eyes
    That sparkling blaz’d, his other Parts besides
    Prone on the Flood, extended long and large
    Lay floating many a rood, in bulk as huge
    As whom the Fables name of monstrous size,
    Titanian, or Earth-born, that warr’d on Jove,
    Briarios or Typhon, whom the Den
    By ancient Tarsus held, or that Sea-beast
    Leviathan,
    John Milton (1608–1674)
