Charged

Famous quotes containing the word charged:

“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 (1564–1616)

“Luna presence,
foredoomed, already dying,
it charged the room
with plangency

older than human
cries,”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

“God, who gave to him the lyre,
Of all mortals the desire,
For all breathing men’s 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 (1803–1882)
