Ill Read That Again

Famous quotes containing the words ill and/or read:

    Against ill chances men are ever merry,
    But heaviness foreruns the good event.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Up from the South at break of day,
    Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
    The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
    Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
    The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
    Telling the battle was on once more,
    And Sheridan twenty miles away.
    —Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
