Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    My curse on plays
    That have to be set up in fifty ways,
    On the day’s war with every knave and dolt,
    Theater business, management of men.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I had rather hear a brazen canstick turned,
    Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree,
    And that would set my teeth nothing on edge,
    Nothing so much as mincing poetry.
    ‘Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling nag.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Ye ugly, creepin, blastit wonner,
    Detested, shunn’d by saunt an’ sinner,
    How dare ye set your fit upon her,
    Sae fine a lady!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
