Rough

Famous quotes containing the word rough:

    Thus far with rough and all-unable pen
    Our bending author hath pursued the story.
    In little room confining mighty men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    This far outstripped the other;
    Yet ever runs she with reverted face,
    And looks and listens for the boy behind:
    For he, alas! is blind!
    O’er rough and smooth with even step he passed,
    And knows not whether he be first or last.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    Western hospitality prevails; it is reminiscent of the kind displayed earlier here by a host who said to an unexpected guest, “Stranger, you take the wold skin and the chaw o’ sowbelly—I’ll rough it.”
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
