Difficulty Score

Famous quotes containing the words difficulty and/or score:

    “So he with difficulty and labour hard
    Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
    But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
    Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
    Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
    Paved after him a broad and beaten way
    Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
    Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
    From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
    Of this frail world;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “How many miles to Babylon?
    Three score and ten.
    Can I get there by candlelight?
    Yes, and back again.”
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. How many miles to Babylon? (l. 1–4)
