Famous quotes containing the word charged:
“God, who gave to him the lyre,
Of all mortals the desire,
For all breathing mens behoof,
Straitly charged him, Sit aloof;
Annexed a warning, poets say,
To the bright premium,
Ever, when twain together play,
Shall the harp be dumb.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Luna presence,
foredoomed, already dying,
it charged the room
with plangency
older than human
cries,”
—Robert Earl Hayden (19131980)
“I would I could
Quit all offences with as clear excuse
As well as I am doubtless I can purge
Myself of many I am charged withal.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
