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 (15641616)
“For he could coin, or counterfeit
New words, with little or no wit;
Words so debasd and hard, no stone
Was hard enough to touch them on;
And when with hasty noise he spoke em;
The ignorant for current took em;”
—Samuel Butler (16121680)
“The women that I picked spoke sweet and low
And yet gave tongue. Hound voices were they all.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
