Famous quotes containing the words double, summer and/or time:
“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon ‘t,
A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will;
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent,
And like a man to double business bound
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“yet another summer loath to go
Although the scythes hang in the apple trees.”
—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
“It is not necessary that every time he rises he should give his famous imitation of a semi-house-trained polecat.”
—Michael Foot (b. 1913)
