Famous quotes containing the word spoke:
“Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven—
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you,
trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it as many of your
players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
